Numbers 23:11-21
-
11 And Balak said unto Balaam, What hast thou done unto me? I took thee to curse mine enemies, and, behold, thou hast blessed them altogether.
-
12 And he answered and said, Must I not take heed to speak that which the LORD hath put in my mouth?
-
13 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.
-
14 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.
-
15 And he said unto Balak, Stand here by thy burnt offering, while I meet the LORD yonder.
-
16 And the LORD met Balaam, and put a word in his mouth, and said, Go again unto Balak, and say thus.
-
17 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?
-
18 And he took up his parable, and said, Rise up, Balak, and hear; hearken unto me, thou son of Zippor:
-
19 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?
-
20 Behold, I have received commandment to bless: and he hath blessed; and I cannot reverse it.
-
21 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.
