Then the Lord put a word in Balaam’s mouth and said,“ Return to Balak, and this is what you shall speak.”So he returned to him, and behold, he was standing beside his burnt offering, he and all the leaders of Moab.And he took up his discourse and said,“ From Aram Balak has brought me, Moab’s king from the mountains of the East, saying,‘ Come, declare Jacob cursed for me, And come, curse Israel!’How am I to put a curse on him upon whom God has not put a curse? And how am I to curse him whom the Lord has not cursed?For I see him from the top of the rocks, And I look at him from the hills; Behold, a people that lives in isolation, And does not consider itself to be among the nations.Who has counted the dust of Jacob, Or the number of the fourth part of Israel? May I die the death of the upright, And may my end be like his!”Then Balak said to Balaam,“ What have you done to me? I took you to put a curse on my enemies, but behold, you have actually blessed them!”He replied,“ Must I not be careful to speak what the Lord puts in my mouth?”

And Balak said to him,“ What has the Lord spoken?”Then he took up his discourse and said,“ Arise, Balak, and hear; Listen to me, son of Zippor!God is not a man, that He would lie, Nor a son of man, that He would change His mind; Has He said, and will He not do it? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?Behold, I have received a command to bless; When He has blessed, I cannot revoke it.He has not looked at misfortune in Jacob; Nor has He seen trouble in Israel; The Lord his God is with him, And the joyful shout of a king is among them.God brings them out of Egypt, He is for them like the horns of the wild ox.For there is no magic curse against Jacob, Nor is there any divination against Israel; At the proper time it shall be said to Jacob And to Israel, what God has done!Behold, a people rises like a lioness, And like a lion it raises itself; It will not lie down until it devours the prey, And drinks the blood of those slain.”Then Balak said to Balaam,“ Do not curse them at all nor bless them at all!”But Balaam replied to Balak,“ Did I not tell you,‘ Whatever the Lord speaks, I must do’?”
