Numbers 23:22

20 Behold, I have received a command to bless;
^aHe has blessed, and I cannot reverse it.

21 “He^a has not observed iniquity in Jacob,
Nor has He seen¹ wickedness in Israel.
The Lord his God is with him,
^bAnd the shout of a King is among them.

22 ^aGod brings them out of Egypt;
He has ^bstrength like a wild ox.

23 “For there is no¹ sorcery against Jacob,
Nor any¹ divination against Israel.
It now must be said of Jacob
And of Israel, ‘Oh, ^awhat God has done!’

24 Look, a people rises ^alike a lioness,
And lifts itself up like a lion;
^bIt shall not lie down until it devours the prey,
And drinks the blood of the slain.”

25 Then Balak said to Balaam, “Neither curse them at all, nor bless them at all!”

26 So Balaam answered and said to Balak, “Did I not tell you, saying, ^a‘All that the Lord speaks, that I must do’?”
