1 # And when Balaam <01109> saw <07200> (8799) that it pleased <05869> <02895> (8804) the LORD <03068> to bless <01288> (8763) Israel <03478>, he went <01980> (8804) not, as at other times <06471>, to seek <07125> (8800) for enchantments <05173>, but he set <07896> (8799) his face <06440> toward the wilderness <04057>.
2 And Balaam <01109> lifted up <05375> (8799) his eyes <05869>, and he saw <07200> (8799) Israel <03478> abiding <07931> (8802) in his tents according to their tribes <07626>; and the spirit <07307> of God <0430> came upon him.
 - SPIRIT OF GOD
3 And he took up <05375> (8799) his parable <04912>, and said <0559> (8799), Balaam <01109> the son <01121> of Beor <01160> hath said <05002> (8803), and the man <01397> whose eyes <05869> are open <08365> (8803) hath said <05002> (8803):
4 He hath said <05002> (8803), which heard <08085> (8802) the words <0561> of God <0410>, which saw <02372> (8799) the vision <04236> of the Almighty <07706>, falling <05307> (8802) into a trance, but having his eyes <05869> open <01540> (8803):
5 How goodly <02895> (8804) are thy tents <0168>, O Jacob <03290>, and thy tabernacles <04908>, O Israel <03478>!
6 As the valleys <05158> are they spread forth <05186> (8738), as gardens <01593> by the river's side <05104>, as the trees of lign aloes <0174> which the LORD <03068> hath planted <05193> (8804), and as cedar trees <0730> beside the waters <04325>.
7 He shall pour <05140> <00> the water <04325> out <05140> (8799) of his buckets <01805>, and his seed <02233> shall be in many <07227> waters <04325>, and his king <04428> shall be higher <07311> (8799) than Agag <090>, and his kingdom <04438> shall be exalted <05375> (8691).
8 God <0410> brought him forth <03318> (8688) out of Egypt <04714>; he hath as it were the strength <08443> of an unicorn <07214>: he shall eat up <0398> (8799) the nations <01471> his enemies <06862>, and shall break <01633> (8762) their bones <06106>, and pierce <04272> (8799) them through with his arrows <02671>.
9 He couched <03766> (8804), he lay down <07901> (8804) as a lion <0738>, and as a great lion <03833> : who shall stir him up <06965> (8686)? Blessed <01288> (8803) is he that blesseth <01288> (8764) thee, and cursed <0779> (8803) is he that curseth <0779> (8802) thee.
10 # And Balak's <01111> anger <0639> was kindled <02734> (8799) against Balaam <01109>, and he smote <05606> <00> his hands <03709> together <05606> (8799): and Balak <01111> said <0559> (8799) unto Balaam <01109> , I called <07121> (8804) thee to curse <06895> (8800) mine enemies <0341> (8802), and, behold, thou hast altogether <01288> (8763) blessed <01288> (8765) them these three <07969> times <06471>.
11 Therefore now flee <01272> (8798) thou to thy place <04725>: I thought <0559> (8804) to promote <03513> <00> thee unto great <03513> (8763) honour <03513> (8762); but, lo, the LORD <03068> hath kept thee back <04513> (8804) from honour <03519>.
12 And Balaam <01109> said <0559> (8799) unto Balak <01111>, Spake <01696> (8765) I not also to thy messengers <04397> which thou sentest <07971> (8804) unto me, saying <0559> (8800),
13 If Balak <01111> would give <05414> (8799) me his house <01004> full <04393> of silver <03701> and gold <02091>, I cannot <03201> (8799) go beyond <05674> (8800) the commandment <06310> of the LORD <03068>, to do <06213> (8800) either good <02896> or bad <07451> of mine own mind <03820>; but what the LORD <03068> saith <01696> (8762), that will I speak <01696> (8762)?
14 And now, behold, I go <01980> (8802) unto my people <05971>: come <03212> (8798) therefore, and I will advertise <03289> (8799) thee what this people <05971> shall do <06213> (8799) to thy people <05971> in the latter <0319> days <03117>.
15 # And he took up <05375> (8799) his parable <04912>, and said <0559> (8799), Balaam <01109> the son <01121> of Beor <01160> hath said <05002> (8803), and the man <01397> whose eyes <05869> are open <08365> (8803) hath said <05002> (8803):
16 He hath said <05002> (8803), which heard <08085> (8802) the words <0561> of God <0410>, and knew <03045> (8802) the knowledge <01847> of the most High <05945>, which saw <02372> (8799) the vision <04236> of the Almighty <07706>, falling <05307> (8802) into a trance, but having his eyes <05869> open <01540> (8803):
17 I shall see <07200> (8799) him, but not now: I shall behold <07789> (8799) him, but not nigh <07138>: there shall come <01869> (8804) a Star <03556> out of Jacob <03290>, and a Sceptre <07626> shall rise <06965> (8804) out of Israel <03478>, and shall smite <04272> (8804) the corners <06285> of Moab <04124>, and destroy <06979> (8773) all the children <01121> of Sheth <08352> (8676) <08351>.
18 And Edom <0123> shall be a possession <03424>, Seir <08165> also shall be a possession <03424> for his enemies <0341> (8802); and Israel <03478> shall do <06213> (8802) valiantly <02428>.
19 Out of Jacob <03290> shall come he that shall have dominion <07287> (8799), and shall destroy <06> (8689) him that remaineth <08300> of the city <05892>.
20 And when he looked <07200> (8799) on Amalek <06002>, he took up <05375> (8799) his parable <04912> , and said <0559> (8799), Amalek <06002> was the first <07225> of the nations <01471>; but his latter <0319> end shall be that he perish <08> for ever <05703>.
21 And he looked <07200> (8799) on the Kenites <07017>, and took up <05375> (8799) his parable <04912> , and said <0559> (8799), Strong <0386> is thy dwellingplace <04186>, and thou puttest <07760> (8798) thy nest <07064> in a rock <05553>.
22 Nevertheless the Kenite <07014> shall <0518> be wasted <01197> (8763), until Asshur <0804> shall carry thee away captive <07617> (8799).
23 And he took up <05375> (8799) his parable <04912>, and said <0559> (8799), Alas <0188>, who shall live <02421> (8799) when God <0410> doeth <07760> (8800) this!
24 And ships <06716> shall come from the coast <03027> of Chittim <03794>, and shall afflict <06031> (8765) Asshur <0804>, and shall afflict <06031> (8765) Eber <05677>, and he also shall perish <08> for ever <05703>.
25 And Balaam <01109> rose up <06965> (8799), and went <03212> (8799) and returned <07725> (8799) to his place <04725>: and Balak <01111> also went <01980> (8804) his way <01870>.
