Numbers 23:18-20

New International Reader's Version

“Balak, rise up and listen.
    Son of Zippor, hear me.
¹⁹ God isn’t a mere human. He can’t lie.
    He isn’t a human being. He doesn’t change his mind.
He speaks, and then he acts.
    He makes a promise, and then he keeps it.
²⁰ He has commanded me to bless Israel.
    He has given them his blessing. And I can’t change it.
