— Numbers 24:3, Catholic Public Domain Version
“And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor hath said, and the man whose eyes are open hath said:”
“And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor saith, And the man whose eye was closed saith; ”
“He took up his parable, and said, "Balaam the son of Beor says, the man whose eye was closed says;”
“Then he uttered this oracle:“The oracle of Balaam son of Beor; the oracle of the man whose eyes are open;”
“He took up his parable and said: Balaam the son of Beor hath said: The man hath said, whose eye is stopped up:”
“And moved by the spirit, he said, These are the words of Balaam, son of Beor, the words of the man whose eyes are open:”
“And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor hath said, and the man whose eyes are open hath said:”
And when Balaam had seen that it was pleasing to the Lord that he should bless Israel, he by no means went out as he had gone before, to seek divination. But directing his face opposite the desert,
and lifting up his eyes, he saw Israel dwelling in tents by their tribes. And with the Spirit of God rushing into him,
taking up his parable, he said: “Balaam, the son of Beor, the man whose eye has been obstructed,
the hearer of the sermon of God, he who has gazed upon a vision of the Almighty, he who falls down and so his eyes are opened, has declared:
‘How beautiful are your tabernacles, O Jacob, and your tents, O Israel!
They are like forested valleys, like gardens irrigated next to rivers, like tabernacles which the Lord has fixed, like cedars close to waters.
