NU-24:1 And when Balaam saw that it pleased the LORD to bless
Israel, he went
not, as at other times, to seek for enchantments, but he set his
face toward
the wilderness.
NU-24:2 And Balaam lifted up his eyes, and he saw Israel
abiding [in his
tents] according to their tribes; and the spirit of God came
upon him.
NU-24:3 And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of
Beor hath
said, and the man whose eyes are open hath said:
NU-24:4 He hath said, which heard the words of God, which saw
the vision of
the Almighty, falling [into a trance], but having his eyes open:
NU-24:5 How goodly are thy tents, O Jacob, [and] thy
tabernacles, O Israel!
NU-24:6 As the valleys are they spread forth, as gardens by the
river's side,
as the trees of lign aloes which the LORD hath planted, [and] as
cedar trees
beside the waters.
NU-24:7 He shall pour the water out of his buckets, and his
seed [shall be]
in many waters, and his king shall be higher than Agag, and his
kingdom shall
be exalted.
NU-24:8 God brought him forth out of Egypt; he hath as it were
the strength
of an unicorn: he shall eat up the nations his enemies, and
shall break their
bones, and pierce [them] through with his arrows.
NU-24:9 He couched, he lay down as a lion, and as a great lion:
who shall
stir him up? Blessed [is] he that blesseth thee, and cursed [is]
he that
curseth thee.
NU-24:10 And Balak's anger was kindled against Balaam, and he
smote his hands
together: and Balak said unto Balaam, I called thee to curse
mine enemies,
and, behold, thou hast altogether blessed [them] these three
times.
NU-24:11 Therefore now flee thou to thy place: I thought to
promote thee unto
great honour; but, lo, the LORD hath kept thee back from honour.
NU-24:12 And Balaam said unto Balak, Spake I not also to thy
messengers which
thou sentest unto me, saying,
NU-24:13 If Balak would give me his house full of silver and
gold, I cannot
go beyond the commandment of the LORD, to do [either] good or
bad of mine own
mind; [but] what the LORD saith, that will I speak?
NU-24:14 And now, behold, I go unto my people: come [therefore,
and] I will
advertise thee what this people shall do to thy people in the
latter days.
NU-24:15 And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son
of Beor hath
said, and the man whose eyes are open hath said:
NU-24:16 He hath said, which heard the words of God, and knew
the knowledge
of the most High, [which] saw the vision of the Almighty,
falling [into a
trance], but having his eyes open:
NU-24:17 I shall see him, but not now: I shall behold him, but
not nigh:
there shall come a Star out of Jacob, and a Sceptre shall rise
out of Israel,
and shall smite the corners of Moab, and destroy all the
children of Sheth.
NU-24:18 And Edom shall be a possession, Seir also shall be a
possession for
his enemies; and Israel shall do valiantly.
NU-24:19 Out of Jacob shall come he that shall have dominion,
and shall
destroy him that remaineth of the city.
NU-24:20 And when he looked on Amalek, he took up his parable,
and said,
Amalek [was] the first of the nations; but his latter end [shall
be] that he
perish for ever.
NU-24:21 And he looked on the Kenites, and took up his parable,
and said,
Strong is thy dwellingplace, and thou puttest thy nest in a rock.
NU-24:22 Nevertheless the Kenite shall be wasted, until Asshur
shall carry
thee away captive.
NU-24:23 And he took up his parable, and said, Alas, who shall
live when God
doeth this!
NU-24:24 And ships [shall come] from the coast of Chittim, and
shall afflict
Asshur, and shall afflict Eber, and he also shall perish for
ever.
NU-24:25 And Balaam rose up, and went and returned to his place:
and Balak
also went his way.
