23:7And he took up his parable and said, From Aram Balak brought me, / The king of Moab from the mountains of the East. / Come, curse Jacob for me; / And come, denounce Israel! Compare
23:8How shall I curse whom God has not cursed? / And how can I denounce whom Jehovah has not denounced? Compare
23:9For from the top of the rocks I see him, / And from the hills I behold him. / Here is a people who live alone / And do not reckon themselves among the nations. Compare

23:16And Jehovah met Balaam and put a word in his mouth and said, Return to Balak, and you shall speak this. Compare

23:18And he took up his parable and said, Arise, O Balak, and hear; / Listen to me, O son of Zippor: Compare
23:19God is not a man, that He should lie, / Nor a son of man, that He should repent. / Has He said, and will He not do it? / Or has He spoken, and will He not establish it? Compare
23:20Now I have received a word to bless; / Since He has blessed, then I cannot reverse it. Compare
23:21He has not beheld iniquity in Jacob, / Nor has He seen trouble in Israel; / Jehovah their God is with them, / And the shout of a king is among them. Compare
23:22God is the One who brought them forth out of Egypt; / He has as it were the horns of the wild ox. Compare
23:23Surely there is no enchantment against Jacob, / Nor is there any divination against Israel. / Now it shall be said of Jacob / And of Israel, What has God wrought! Compare
23:24See, a people rises up like a lioness, / And like a lion they lift themselves up. / They shall not lie down until they eat the prey / And drink the blood of the slain. Compare
23:25And Balak said to Balaam, Neither curse them at all, nor bless them at all. Compare
23:26But Balaam answered and said to Balak, Did I not tell you, saying, All that Jehovah speaks, that I must do? Compare
