Library > Bible versions > NIV > Numbers > 24 > Numbers   24 : 1 Now when Balaam saw that it pleased the LORD to bless Israel, he did not resort to sorcery as at other times, but turned his face toward the desert. 24 : 2 When Balaam looked out and saw Israel encamped tribe by tribe, the Spirit of God came upon him 24 : 3 and he uttered his oracle: "The oracle of Balaam son of Beor, the oracle of one whose eye sees clearly, 24 : 4 the oracle of one who hears the words of God, who sees a vision from the Almighty, who falls prostrate, and whose eyes are opened: 24 : 5 How beautiful are your tents, O Jacob, your dwelling places, O Israel! 24 : 6 Like valleys they spread out, like gardens beside a river, like aloes planted by the LORD, like cedars beside the waters. 24 : 7 Water will flow from their buckets; their seed will have abundant water. "Their king will be greater than Agag; their kingdom will be exalted. 24 : 8 God brought them out of Egypt; they have the strength of a wild ox. They devour hostile nations and break their bones in pieces; with their arrows they pierce them. 24 : 9 Like a lion they crouch and lie down, like a lioness--who dares to rouse them? "May those who bless you be blessed and those who curse you be cursed!" 24 : 10 Then Balak`s anger burned against Balaam. He struck his hands together and said to him, "I summoned you to curse my enemies, but you have blessed them these three times. 24 : 11 Now leave at once and go home! I said I would reward you handsomely, but the LORD has kept you from being rewarded." 24 : 12 Balaam answered Balak, "Did I not tell the messengers you sent me, 24 : 13 `Even if Balak gave me his palace filled with silver and gold, I could not do anything of my own accord, good or bad, to go beyond the command of the LORD -and I must say only what the LORD says`? 24 : 14 Now I am going back to my people, but come, let me warn you of what this people will do to your people in days to come." 24 : 15 Then he uttered his oracle: "The oracle of Balaam son of Beor, the oracle of one whose eye sees clearly, 24 : 16 the oracle of one who hears the words of God, who has knowledge from the Most High, who sees a vision from the Almighty, who falls prostrate, and whose eyes are opened: 24 : 17 I see him, but not now; I behold him, but not near. A star will come out of Jacob; a scepter will rise out of Israel. He will crush the foreheads of Moab, the skulls of all the sons of Sheth. 24 : 18 Edom will be conquered; Seir, his enemy, will be conquered, but Israel will grow strong. 24 : 19 A ruler will come out of Jacob and destroy the survivors of the city." 24 : 20 Then Balaam saw Amalek and uttered his oracle: "Amalek was first among the nations, but he will come to ruin at last." 24 : 21 Then he saw the Kenites and uttered his oracle: "Your dwelling place is secure, your nest is set in a rock; 24 : 22 yet you Kenites will be destroyed when Asshur takes you captive." 24 : 23 Then he uttered his oracle: "Ah, who can live when God does this? 24 : 24 Ships will come from the shores of Kittim; they will subdue Asshur and Eber, but they too will come to ruin." 24 : 25 Then Balaam got up and returned home and Balak went his own way.
