Numbers 24:2-9
WEB · Bible Passage
Bible Text
[2] Balaam lifted up his eyes, and he saw Israel dwelling according to their tribes; and the Spirit of God came on him. [3] He took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor says, The man whose eye was closed says; [4] He says, who hears the words of God, Who sees the vision of the Almighty, Falling down, and having his eyes open: [5] How goodly are your tents, Jacob, Your tents, Israel! [6] As valleys are they spread forth, As gardens by the river-side, As lign-aloes which Yahweh has planted, As cedar trees beside the waters. [7] Water shall flow from his buckets, His seed shall be in many waters, His king shall be higher than Agag, His kingdom shall be exalted. [8] God brings him forth out of Egypt; He has as it were the strength of the wild-ox: He shall eat up the nations his adversaries, Shall break their bones in pieces, Smite [them] through with his arrows. [9] He couched, he lay down as a lion, As a lioness; who shall rouse him up? Blessed be everyone who blesses you, Cursed be everyone who curses you.
