15
He said to Balak, Stand here by your burnt offering, while I meet [Yahweh] yonder.
16
Yahweh met Balaam, and put a word in his mouth, and said, Return to Balak, and thus shall you speak.
17
He came to him, and, behold, he was standing by his burnt offering, and the princes of Moab with him. Balak said to him, What has Yahweh spoken?
18
He took up his parable, and said, Rise up, Balak, and hear; Listen to me, you son of Zippor:
19
God is not a man, that he should lie, Neither the son of man, that he should repent: Has he said, and will he not do it? Or has he spoken, and will he not make it good?
20
Behold, I have received [commandment] to bless: He has blessed, and I can`t reverse it.
21
He has not saw iniquity in Jacob; Neither has he seen perverseness in Israel: Yahweh his God is with him, The shout of a king is among them.
22
God brings them forth out of Egypt; He has as it were the strength of the wild-ox.
23
Surely there is no enchantment with Jacob; Neither is there any divination with Israel: Now shall it be said of Jacob and of Israel, What has God done!
24
Behold, the people rises up as a lioness, As a lion does he lift himself up: He shall not lie down until he eat of the prey, Drink the blood of the slain.
25
Balak said to Balaam, Neither curse them at all, nor bless them at all.
26
But Balaam answered Balak, Didn`t I tell you, saying, All that Yahweh speaks, that I must do?
