Numbers 24

1And when Balaam^H1109 saw^H7200 that it pleased^H5869 Jehovah^H3068 to bless^H1288 Israel^H3478, he went^H1980 not, as at the other times^H6471, to meet^H7125 with enchantments^H5173, but he set^H7896 his face^H6440 toward the wilderness^H4057. 2And Balaam^H1109 lifted up^H5375 his eyes^H5869, and he saw^H7200 Israel^H3478 dwelling^H7931 according to their tribes^H7626; and the Spirit^H7307 of God^H430 came upon him. 3And he took up^H5375 his parable^H4912, and said^H559, Balaam^H1109 the son^H1121 of Beor^H1160 saith^H5002, And the man^H1397 whose eye^H5869 was closed^H8365 saith^H5002; 4He saith^H5002, who heareth^H8085 the words^H561 of God^H410, Who seeth^H2372 the vision^H4236 of the Almighty^H7706, Falling^H5307 down, and having his eyes^H5869 open^H1540: 5How goodly^H2895 are thy tents^H168, O Jacob^H3290, Thy tabernacles^H4908, O Israel^H3478! 6As valleys^H5158 are they spread forth^H5186, As gardens^H1593 by the river-side^H5104, As lign-aloes^H174 which Jehovah^H3068 hath planted^H5193, As cedar-trees^H730 beside the waters^H4325. 7Water^H4325 shall flow^H5140 from^H5140 his buckets^H1805, And his seed^H2233 shall be in many^H7227 waters^H4325, And his king^H4428 shall be higher^H7311 than Agag^H90, And his kingdom^H4438 shall be exalted^H5375. 8God^H410 bringeth him forth^H3318 out of Egypt^H4714; He hath as it were the strength^H8443 of the wild-ox^H7214: He shall eat up^H398 the nations^H1471 his adversaries^H6862, And shall break^H1633 their bones^H6106 in pieces, And smite^H4272 them through with his arrows^H2671. 9He couched^H3766, he lay down^H7901 as a lion^H738, And as a lioness^H3833; who shall rouse him up^H6965? Blessed^H1288 be every one that blesseth^H1288 thee, And cursed^H779 be every one that curseth^H779 thee. 10And Balak's^H1111 anger^H639 was kindled^H2734 against Balaam^H1109, and he smote^H5606 his hands^H3709 together^H5606; and Balak^H1111 said^H559 unto Balaam^H1109, I called^H7121 thee to curse^H6895 mine enemies^H341, and, behold, thou hast altogether^H1288 blessed^H1288 them these three^H7969 times^H6471. 11Therefore now flee^H1272 thou to thy place^H4725: I thought^H559 to promote^H3513 thee unto great^H3513 honor^H3513; but, lo, Jehovah^H3068 hath kept thee back^H4513 from honor^H3519. 12And Balaam^H1109 said^H559 unto Balak^H1111, Spake^H1696 I not also to thy messengers^H4397 that thou sentest^H7971 unto me, saying^H559, 13If Balak^H1111 would give^H5414 me his house^H1004 full^H4393 of silver^H3701 and gold^H2091, I cannot^H3201 go beyond^H5674 the word^H6310 of Jehovah^H3068, to do^H6213 either good^H2896 or bad^H7451 of mine own mind^H3820; what Jehovah^H3068 speaketh^H1696, that will I speak^H1696? 14And now, behold, I go^H1980 unto my people^H5971: come^H3212, and I will advertise^H3289 thee what this people^H5971 shall do^H6213 to thy people^H5971 in the latter^H319 days^H3117. 15And he took up^H5375 his parable^H4912, and said^H559, Balaam^H1109 the son^H1121 of Beor^H1160 saith^H5002, And the man^H1397 whose eye^H5869 was closed^H8365 saith^H5002; 16He saith^H5002, who heareth^H8085 the words^H561 of God^H410, And knoweth^H3045 the knowledge^H1847 of the Most High^H5945, Who seeth^H2372 the vision^H4236 of the Almighty^H7706, Falling^H5307 down, and having his eyes^H5869 open^H1540: 17I see^H7200 him, but not now; I behold^H7200 him, but not nigh^H7138: There shall come^H1869 forth a star^H3556 out of Jacob^H3290, And a sceptre^H7626 shall rise^H6965 out of Israel^H3478, And shall smite^H4272 through the corners^H6285 of Moab^H4124, And break down^H6979 all the sons^H1121 of tumult^H8352. 18And Edom^H123 shall be a possession^H3424, Seir^H8165 also shall be a possession^H3424, who were his enemies^H341; While Israel^H3478 doeth^H6213 valiantly^H2428. 19And out of Jacob^H3290 shall one have dominion^H7287, And shall destroy^H6 the remnant^H8300 from the city^H5892. 20And he looked^H7200 on Amalek^H6002, and took up^H5375 his parable^H4912, and said^H559, Amalek^H6002 was the first^H7225 of the nations^H1471; But his latter^H319 end shall come^H5703 to destruction^H8. 21And he looked^H7200 on the Kenite^H7017, and took up^H5375 his parable^H4912, and said^H559, Strong^H386 is thy dwelling-place^H4186, And thy nest^H7064 is set^H7760 in the rock^H5553. 22Nevertheless Kain^H7014 shall^H518 be wasted^H1197, Until Asshur^H804 shall carry thee away captive^H7617. 23And he took up^H5375 his parable^H4912, and said^H559, Alas^H188, who shall live^H2421 when God^H410 doeth^H7760 this? 24But ships^H6716 shall come from the coast^H3027 of Kittim^H3794, And they shall afflict^H6031 Asshur^H804, and shall afflict^H6031 Eber^H5677; And he also shall come^H5703 to destruction^H8. 25And Balaam^H1109 rose up^H6965, and went^H3212 and returned^H7725 to his place^H4725; and Balak^H1111 also went^H1980 his way^H1870.
