21 He has not seen iniquity in Jacob.Neither has he seen perverseness in Israel.The Lord his God is with him.The shout of a king is amongst them.
22 God brings them out of Egypt.He has as it were the strength of the wild ox.
23 Surely there is no enchantment with Jacob;Neither is there any divination with Israel.Now it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel,‘What has God done!’
24 Behold, a people rises up as a lioness.As a lion he lifts himself up.He shall not lie down until he eats of the prey,and drinks the blood of the slain.”
25 Balak said to Balaam, “Neither curse them at all, nor bless them at all.”
26 But Balaam answered Balak, “Didn’t I tell you, saying, ‘All that the Lord speaks, that I must do?’”
27 Balak said to Balaam, “Come now, I will take you to another place; perhaps it will please God that you may curse them for me from there.”
