Numbers 23:21
Compare all
19 “Goda is not a man, that He should lie,
Nor a son of man, that He should repent.
Has He bsaid, and will He not do?
Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good? 
20 Behold, I have received a command to bless;
aHe has blessed, and I cannot reverse it. 
21 “Hea 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!’

Numbers 23:21

"Iniquity" and "perverseness" are found together again in the Hebrew of Psalms 10:7; Psalms 90:10, and elsewhere; and import wickedness together with that tribulation which is its proper result.

The shout - The word is used (Leviticus 23:24 note) to describe the sound of the silver trumpets. The "shout of a king" will therefore refer to the jubilant sounds by which the presence of the Lord as their King among them was celebrated by Israel.
