And whenBalaamsaw that itpleased theLORD toblessIsrael, hewent not, as at othertimes, toseek forenchantments, but heset hisface toward the wilderness.
2 AndBalaam liftedup hiseyes, and hesawIsraelabiding in his tents according to theirtribes; and thespirit of God came upon him.
3 And he tookup hisparable, andsaid,Balaam theson ofBeor hathsaid, and theman whoseeyes areopen hath said:
4 He hathsaid, whichheard thewords ofGod, whichsaw thevision of theAlmighty,falling into a trance, but having hiseyes open:
5 Howgoodly are thytents, OJacob, and thytabernacles, O Israel!
6 As thevalleys are they spreadforth, asgardens by the river'sside, as the trees of lignaloes which theLORD hathplanted, and as cedartrees beside the waters.
7 He shallpour thewaterout of hisbuckets, and hisseed shall be inmanywaters, and hisking shall behigher thanAgag, and hiskingdom shall be exalted.
8God brought himforth out ofEgypt; he hath as it were thestrength of anunicorn: he shall eatup thenations hisenemies, and shallbreak theirbones, andpierce them through with his arrows.
9 Hecouched, he laydown as alion, and as a greatlion: who shall stir himup?Blessed is he thatblesseth thee, andcursed is he that curseth thee.
10 AndBalak'sanger waskindled againstBalaam, and hesmote hishandstogether: andBalaksaid untoBalaam, Icalled thee tocurse mineenemies, and, behold, thou hastaltogetherblessed them thesethree times.
11 Therefore nowflee thou to thyplace: Ithought topromote thee untogreathonour; but, lo, theLORD hath kept theeback from honour.
12 AndBalaamsaid untoBalak,Spake I not also to thymessengers which thousentest unto me, saying,
13 IfBalak wouldgive me hishousefull ofsilver andgold, Icannot gobeyond thecommandment of theLORD, todo eithergood orbad of mine ownmind; but what theLORDsaith, that will I speak?
14 And now, behold, Igo unto mypeople:come therefore, and I willadvertise thee what thispeople shalldo to thypeople in thelatter days.
15 And he tookup hisparable, andsaid,Balaam theson ofBeor hathsaid, and theman whoseeyes areopen hath said:
16 He hathsaid, whichheard thewords ofGod, andknew theknowledge of the mostHigh, whichsaw thevision of theAlmighty,falling into a trance, but having hiseyes open:
17 I shallsee him, but not now: I shallbehold him, but notnigh: there shallcome aStar out ofJacob, and aSceptre shallrise out ofIsrael, and shallsmite thecorners ofMoab, anddestroy all thechildren ofSheth.
18 AndEdom shall be apossession,Seir also shall be apossession for hisenemies; andIsrael shalldo valiantly.
19 Out ofJacob shall come he that shall havedominion, and shalldestroy him thatremaineth of the city.
20 And when helooked onAmalek, he tookup hisparable, andsaid,Amalek was thefirst of thenations; but hislatter end shall be that heperish for ever.
21 And helooked on theKenites, and tookup hisparable, andsaid,Strong is thydwellingplace, and thouputtest thynest in a rock.
23 And he tookup hisparable, andsaid,Alas, who shalllive whenGod doeth this!
24 Andships shall come from thecoast ofChittim, and shallafflictAsshur, and shallafflictEber, and he also shallperish for ever.
25 AndBalaam roseup, andwent andreturned to hisplace: andBalak alsowent his way.
