-
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.
-
22 God brought them out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn.
-
23 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!
-
24 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.
-
25 And Balak said unto Balaam, Neither curse them at all, nor bless them at all.
-
26 But Balaam answered and said unto Balak, Told not I thee, saying, All that the LORD speaketh, that I must do?
-
27 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.
-
28 And Balak brought Balaam unto the top of Peor, that looketh toward Jeshimon.
-
29 And Balaam said unto Balak, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven bullocks and seven rams.
