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!’
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.”
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’?”
Balaam’s Third Prophecy
27 Then Balak said to Balaam, “Please come, I will take you to another place; perhaps it will please God that you may curse them for me from there.”
28 So Balak took Balaam to the top of Peor, that aoverlooks the wasteland.
29 Then Balaam said to Balak, “Build for me here seven altars, and prepare for me here seven bulls and seven rams.”
30 And Balak did as Balaam had said, and offered a bull and a ram on every altar.
