Numbers 23 — Context

18

And in the words which the Lord had given him he said, Up! Balak, and give ear; give attention to me, O son of Zippor:

19

God is not a man, to say what is false; or the son of man, that his purpose may be changed: what he has said, will he not do? and will he not give effect to the words of his mouth?

20

See, I have had orders to give blessing: and he has given a blessing which I have no power to take away.

21

He has seen no evil in Jacob or wrongdoing in Israel: the Lord his God is with him, and the glad cry of a king is among them.

22

It is God who has taken them out of Egypt; his horns are like those of the mountain ox.

23

No evil power has effect against Jacob, no secret arts against Israel; at the right time it will be said of Jacob and of Israel, See what God has done!

24

See, Israel comes up like a she-lion, lifting himself up like a lion: he will take no rest till he has made a meal of those he has overcome, drinking the blood of those he has put to death.
