Numbers 24:10
Compare all
8 “Goda brings him out of Egypt;
He has strength like a wild ox;
He shall bconsume the nations, his enemies;
He shall cbreak their bones
And dpierce them with his arrows. 
9 ‘Hea bows down, he lies down as a lion;
And as a lion, who shall rouse him?’
b“Blessed is he who blesses you,
And cursed is he who curses you.”  
10 Then Balak’s anger was aroused against Balaam, and he astruck his hands together; and Balak said to Balaam, b“I called you to curse my enemies, and look, you have bountifully blessed them these three times!  
11 Now therefore, flee to your place. aI said I would greatly honor you, but in fact, the Lord has kept you back from honor.”  
12 So Balaam said to Balak, “Did I not also speak to your messengers whom you sent to me, saying,
13 ‘If Balak were to give me his house full of silver and gold, I could not go beyond the word of the Lord, to do good or bad of my own will. What the Lord says, that I must speak’?
14 And now, indeed, I am going to my people. Come, aI will advise you what this people will do to your people in the blatter days.”  

Balaam’s Fourth Prophecy

15 So he took up his oracle and said:
“The utterance of Balaam the son of Beor,
And the utterance of the man whose eyes are opened;
16 The utterance of him who hears the words of God,
And has the knowledge of the Most High,
Who sees the vision of the Almighty,
Who falls down, with eyes wide open:

Numbers

NUMBERS. This book is so called because it contains an account of the enumeration and arrangement of the Israelites. The early part of it, from the first through the tenth chapters, appears to be a supplement to Leviticus, being occupied with relating the appointment of the Levites to the sacred offices. The journal of the march through the wilderness is then given as far as Numbers 21:20; after which the early incidents of the invasion are narrated. One direct quotation only from this book (Numbers 16:5) is made in the New Testament (II Timothy 2:19); but indirect references to it by the later sacred writers are very numerous.
