Numbers 23:16-26
King James Version
16 And the Lord met Balaam, and put a word in his mouth, and said, Go again unto Balak, and say thus.
17 And when he came to him, behold, he stood by his burnt offering, and the princes of Moab with him. And Balak said unto him, What hath the Lord spoken?
18 And he took up his parable, and said, Rise up, Balak, and hear; hearken unto me, thou son of Zippor:
19 God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?
20 Behold, I have received commandment to bless: and he hath blessed; and I cannot reverse it.
21 He hath not beheld iniquity in Jacob, neither hath he seen perverseness in Israel: the Lord his God is with him, and the shout of a king is among them.
22 God brought them out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn.
23 Surely there is no enchantment against Jacob, neither is there any divination against Israel: according to this time it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel, What hath God wrought!
24 Behold, the people shall rise up as a great lion, and lift up himself as a young lion: he shall not lie down until he eat of the prey, and drink the blood of the slain.
25 And Balak said unto Balaam, Neither curse them at all, nor bless them at all.
26 But Balaam answered and said unto Balak, Told not I thee, saying, All that the Lord speaketh, that I must do?

16 The Lord met with Balaam and put a word in his mouth(A) and said, “Go back to Balak and give him this word.”
17 So he went to him and found him standing beside his offering, with the Moabite officials.(B) Balak asked him, “What did the Lord say?”
18 Then he spoke his message:(C)
“Arise, Balak, and listen;
hear me, son of Zippor.(D)
19 God is not human,(E) that he should lie,(F)
not a human being, that he should change his mind.(G)
Does he speak and then not act?
Does he promise(H) and not fulfill?
20 I have received a command to bless;(I)
he has blessed,(J) and I cannot change it.(K)
21 “No misfortune is seen in Jacob,(L)
no misery observed[a] in Israel.(M)
The Lord their God is with them;(N)
the shout of the King(O) is among them.
22 God brought them out of Egypt;(P)
they have the strength of a wild ox.(Q)
23 There is no divination against[b] Jacob,
no evil omens(R) against[c] Israel.
It will now be said of Jacob
and of Israel, ‘See what God has done!’
24 The people rise like a lioness;(S)
they rouse themselves like a lion(T)
that does not rest till it devours its prey
and drinks the blood(U) of its victims.”
25 Then Balak said to Balaam, “Neither curse them at all nor bless them at all!”
26 Balaam answered, “Did I not tell you I must do whatever the Lord says?”(V)

King James Version
5 And the Lord put a word in Balaam's mouth, and said, Return unto Balak, and thus thou shalt speak.
6 And he returned unto him, and, lo, he stood by his burnt sacrifice, he, and all the princes of Moab.
7 And he took up his parable, and said, Balak the king of Moab hath brought me from Aram, out of the mountains of the east, saying, Come, curse me Jacob, and come, defy Israel.
8 How shall I curse, whom God hath not cursed? or how shall I defy, whom the Lord hath not defied?
9 For from the top of the rocks I see him, and from the hills I behold him: lo, the people shall dwell alone, and shall not be reckoned among the nations.
10 Who can count the dust of Jacob, and the number of the fourth part of Israel? Let me die the death of the righteous, and let my last end be like his!
11 And Balak said unto Balaam, What hast thou done unto me? I took thee to curse mine enemies, and, behold, thou hast blessed them altogether.
12 And he answered and said, Must I not take heed to speak that which the Lord hath put in my mouth?

the king of Moab from the eastern mountains.(G)
‘Come,’ he said, ‘curse Jacob for me;
come, denounce Israel.’(H)
8 How can I curse
those whom God has not cursed?(I)
How can I denounce
those whom the Lord has not denounced?(J)
9 From the rocky peaks I see them,
from the heights I view them.(K)
I see a people who live apart
and do not consider themselves one of the nations.(L)
10 Who can count the dust of Jacob(M)
or number even a fourth of Israel?
Let me die the death of the righteous,(N)
and may my final end be like theirs!(O)”
11 Balak said to Balaam, “What have you done to me? I brought you to curse my enemies,(P) but you have done nothing but bless them!”(Q)
