1 When Balaam saw that it pleased the Lord to bless Israel, he did not go as at other times to seek omens but he set his face toward the wilderness.
2 And Balaam lifted up his eyes and saw Israel camping tribe by tribe; and the Spirit of God came upon him.
3 He took up his discourse and said,
4 The oracle of him who hears the words of God,
5 How fair are your tents, O Jacob,
6 "Like valleys that stretch out,
7 "Water will flow from his buckets,
8 "God brings him out of Egypt,
9 "He couches, he lies down as a lion,
10 Then Balak's anger burned against Balaam, and he struck his hands together; and Balak said to Balaam, "I called you to curse my enemies, but behold, you have persisted in blessing them these three times!
11 Therefore, flee to your place now. I said I would honor you greatly, but behold, the Lord has held you back from honor."
12 Balaam said to Balak, "Did I not tell your messengers whom you had sent to me, saying,
13 'Though Balak were to give me his house full of silver and gold, I could not do anything contrary to the command of the Lord, either good or bad, of my own accord. What the Lord speaks, that I will speak'?
14 And now, behold, I am going to my people; come, and I will advise you what this people will do to your people in the days to come."
15 He took up his discourse and said, "The oracle of Balaam the son of Beor, And the oracle of the man whose eye is opened,
16 The oracle of him who hears the words of God,
17 "I see him, but not now;
18 "Edom shall be a possession,
19 "One from Jacob shall have dominion,
20 And he looked at Amalek and took up his discourse and said, "Amalek was the first of the nations, But his end shall be destruction."
21 And he looked at the Kenite, and took up his discourse and said, "Your dwelling place is enduring, And your nest is set in the cliff.
22 "Nevertheless Kain will be consumed;
23 Then he took up his discourse and said, "Alas, who can live except God has ordained it?
24 "But ships shall come from the coast of Kittim,
25 Then Balaam arose and departed and returned to his place, and Balak also went his way.
