Numbers 24:4-9
English Standard Version
4 the oracle of him who hears the words of God,
who sees the vision of the Almighty,
(A)falling down with his eyes uncovered:
5 How lovely are your tents, O Jacob,
your encampments, O Israel!
6 Like palm groves[a] that stretch afar,
like gardens beside a river,
(B)like aloes (C)that the Lord has planted,
like cedar trees beside the waters.
7 Water shall flow from his buckets,
and his seed shall be (D)in many waters;
his king shall be higher than (E)Agag,
and (F)his kingdom shall be exalted.
8 God brings him out of Egypt
and is for him like the (G)horns of the wild ox;
he shall (H)eat up the nations, his adversaries,
and shall (I)break their bones in pieces
and (J)pierce them through with his arrows.
9 He crouched, he lay down like a lion
and (K)like a lioness; who will rouse him up?
(L)Blessed are those who bless you,
and cursed are those who curse you.”
