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?

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)

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)

“Balak brought me from Aram,(F)
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)”
