Numbers 23:18-24

Evangelical Heritage Version

Get up, Balak, and listen!
Give ear to me, son of Zippor.
¹⁹ God is not a man, that he should lie,
nor a son of man, that he changes his mind.
Does he say something, and then not carry it out?
Does he speak, and then not bring it about?
²⁰ Look, I have received a command to bless.
He has blessed, and I cannot change that.
²¹ No disaster is in sight for Jacob.
No suffering is seen in Israel.
The Lord his God is with him.
The shout for the King is among them.
He rejoices in his King.
²² God brings them out of Egypt.
God is like the horns of a wild ox for him.
²³ Surely there is no occult power against Jacob,
no omen against Israel.
They will say about Jacob and Israel,
“What great things God has done!”
²⁴ Look, the people rise up like a lioness.
Like a lion they lift themselves up.
He will not lie down until he eats the prey,
until he drinks the blood of the slain.
