Numbers 24:1-14 - ESV Bible - When Balaam saw that it pleased the LORD to bless...

Balaam's Third Oracle

1 When Balaam saw that it pleased the LORD to bless Israel, he did not go, as at ¹other times, to look for omens, but set his face toward the wilderness.

2 And Balaam lifted up his eyes and saw Israel ²camping tribe by tribe. And ³the Spirit of God came upon him,

3 and he ⁴took up his discourse and said, "The oracle of Balaam the son of Beor, the oracle of the man whose eye is opened,^a

4 the oracle of him who hears the words of God, who sees the vision of the Almighty, ⁵falling down with his eyes uncovered:

5 How lovely are your tents, O Jacob, your encampments, O Israel!

6 Like palm groves^b that stretch afar, like gardens beside a river, ⁶like aloes ⁷that the LORD has planted, like cedar trees beside the waters.

7 Water shall flow from his buckets, and his seed shall be ⁸in many waters; his king shall be higher than ⁹Agag, and ¹⁰his kingdom shall be exalted.

8 God brings him out of Egypt and is for him like the ¹¹horns of the wild ox; he shall ¹²eat up the nations, his adversaries, and shall ¹³break their bones in pieces and ¹⁴pierce them through with his arrows.

9 He crouched, he lay down like a lion and ¹⁵like a lioness; who will rouse him up? ¹⁶Blessed are those who bless you, and cursed are those who curse you."

10 And Balak's anger was kindled against Balaam, and he ¹⁷struck his hands together. And Balak said to Balaam, ¹⁸"I called you to curse my enemies, and behold, you have blessed them these three times.

11 Therefore now flee to your own place. I said, ¹⁹'I will certainly honor you,' but the LORD has held you back from honor."

12 And Balaam said to Balak, "Did I not tell your messengers whom you sent to me,

13 ²⁰'If Balak should give me his house full of silver and gold, I would not be able to go beyond the word of the LORD, to do either good or bad ²¹of my own will. What the LORD speaks, that will I speak'?

14 And now, behold, I am going to my people. Come, ²²I will let you know what this people will do to your people ²³in the latter days."
