3 and he took up his discourse and said,“The oracle of Balaam the son of Beor,the oracle of the man whose eye is opened,
4 the oracle of him who hears the words of God,who sees the vision of the Almighty, falling down with his eyes uncovered:
5 How lovely are your tents, O Jacob,your encampments, O Israel!
6 Like palm groves that stretch afar,like gardens beside a river, like aloes that the Lord has planted,like cedar trees beside the waters.
7 Water shall flow from his buckets,and his seed shall be in many waters;his king shall be higher than Agag,and his kingdom shall be exalted.
8 God brings him out of Egyptand is for him like the horns of the wild ox;he shall eat up the nations, his adversaries,and shall break their bones in piecesand pierce them through with his arrows.
9 He crouched, he lay down like a lionand like a lioness; who will rouse him up? Blessed are those who bless you,and cursed are those who curse you.”
