04:023:012 And he answered and said, Must I not take heed to speak that
which the LORD hath put in my mouth?
04:023:013 And Balak said unto him, Come, I pray thee, with me unto
another place, from whence thou mayest see them: thou shalt
see but the utmost part of them, and shalt not see them all:
and curse me them from thence.
04:023:014 And he brought him into the field of Zophim, to the top of
Pisgah, and built seven altars, and offered a bullock and a
ram on every altar.
04:023:015 And he said unto Balak, Stand here by thy burnt offering,
while I meet the LORD yonder.
04:023:016 And the LORD met Balaam, and put a word in his mouth, and
said, Go again unto Balak, and say thus.
04:023:017 And when he came to him, behold, he stood by his burnt
offering, and the princes of Moab with him. And Balak said
unto him, What hath the LORD spoken?
04:023:018 And he took up his parable, and said, Rise up, Balak, and
hear; hearken unto me, thou son of Zippor:
04:023:019 God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man,
that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it?
or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?
04:023:020 Behold, I have received commandment to bless: and he hath
blessed; and I cannot reverse it.
04:023:021 He hath not beheld iniquity in Jacob, neither hath he seen
perverseness in Israel: the LORD his God is with him, and the
shout of a king is among them.
04:023:022 God brought them out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength
of an unicorn.
04:023:023 Surely there is no enchantment against Jacob, neither is there
any divination against Israel: according to this time it shall
be said of Jacob and of Israel, What hath God wrought!
04:023:024 Behold, the people shall rise up as a great lion, and lift up
himself as a young lion: he shall not lie down until he eat of
the prey, and drink the blood of the slain.
04:023:025 And Balak said unto Balaam, Neither curse them at all, nor
bless them at all.
04:023:026 But Balaam answered and said unto Balak, Told not I thee,
saying, All that the LORD speaketh, that I must do?
04:023:027 And Balak said unto Balaam, Come, I pray thee, I will bring
thee unto another place; peradventure it will please God that
thou mayest curse me them from thence.
04:023:028 And Balak brought Balaam unto the top of Peor, that looketh
toward Jeshimon.
04:023:029 And Balaam said unto Balak, Build me here seven altars, and
prepare me here seven bullocks and seven rams.
04:023:030 And Balak did as Balaam had said, and offered a bullock and a
ram on every altar.
