 <div class="label">23</div><div class="p"> 1And Balaam said unto Balak, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven oxen and seven rams. 2And Balak did as Balaam had spoken; and Balak and Balaam offered on every altar a bullock and a ram. 3And Balaam said unto Balak, Stand by thy burnt offering, and I will go: peradventure the LORD will come to meet me: and whatsoever he sheweth me I will tell thee. And he went to an high place. 4And God met Balaam: and he said unto him, I have prepared seven altars, and I have offered upon every altar a bullock and a ram. 5And the LORD put a word in Balaam's mouth, and said, Return unto Balak, and thus thou shalt speak. 6And he returned unto him, and, lo, he stood by his burnt sacrifice, he, and all the princes of Moab. 7And he took up his parable, and said,</div><div class="q1">Balak the king of Moab hath brought me from Aram,</div><div class="q1">Out of the mountains of the east,</div><div class="q1"> Saying, Come, curse me Jacob,</div><div class="q1">And come, defy Israel.</div><div class="q1"> 8How shall I curse, whom God hath not cursed?</div><div class="q1">Or how shall I defy, whom the LORD hath not defied?</div><div class="q1"> 9For from the top of the rocks I see him,</div><div class="q1">And from the hills I behold him:</div><div class="q1">Lo, the people shall dwell alone,</div><div class="q1">And shall not be reckoned among the nations.</div><div class="q1"> 10Who can count the dust of Jacob,</div><div class="q1">And the number of the fourth part of Israel?</div><div class="q1">Let me die the death of the righteous,</div><div class="q1">And let my last end be like his!</div><div class="p"> 11And Balak said unto Balaam, What hast thou done unto me? I took thee to curse mine enemies, and, behold, thou hast blessed them altogether. 12And he answered and said, Must I not take heed to speak that which the LORD hath put in my mouth?</div><div class="p"> 13And Balak said unto him, Come, I pray thee, with me unto another place, from whence thou mayest see them: thou shalt see but the utmost part of them, and shalt not see them all: and curse me them from thence. 14And he brought him into the field of Zophim, to the top of Pisgah, and built seven altars, and offered a bullock and a ram on every altar. 15And he said unto Balak, Stand here by thy burnt offering, while I meet the LORD yonder. 16And the LORD met Balaam, and put a word in his mouth, and said, Go again unto Balak, and say thus. 17And when he came to him, behold, he stood by his burnt offering, and the princes of Moab with him. And Balak said unto him, What hath the LORD spoken? 18And he took up his parable, and said,</div><div class="q1">Rise up, Balak, and hear;</div><div class="q1">Hearken unto me, thou son of Zippor:</div><div class="q1"> 19God is not a man, that he should lie;</div><div class="q1">Neither the son of man, that he should repent:</div><div class="q1">Hath he said, and shall he not do it?</div><div class="q1">Or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?</div><div class="q1"> 20Behold, I have received commandment to bless:</div><div class="q1">And he hath blessed; and I cannot reverse it.</div><div class="q1"> 21He hath not beheld iniquity in Jacob,</div><div class="q1">Neither hath he seen perverseness in Israel:</div><div class="q1">The LORD his God is with him,</div><div class="q1">And the shout of a king is among them.</div><div class="q1"> 22God brought them out of Egypt;</div><div class="q1">He hath as it were the strength of an unicorn.</div><div class="q1"> 23Surely there is no enchantment against Jacob,</div><div class="q1">Neither is there any divination against Israel:</div><div class="q1">According to this time it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel,</div><div class="q1">What hath God wrought!</div><div class="q1"> 24Behold, the people shall rise up as a great lion,</div><div class="q1">And lift up himself as a young lion:</div><div class="q1">He shall not lie down until he eat of the prey,</div><div class="q1">And drink the blood of the slain.</div><div class="p"> 25And Balak said unto Balaam, Neither curse them at all, nor bless them at all. 26But Balaam answered and said unto Balak, Told not I thee, saying, All that the LORD speaketh, that I must do?</div><div class="p"> 27And Balak said unto Balaam, Come, I pray thee, I will bring thee unto another place; peradventure it will please God that thou mayest curse me them from thence. 28And Balak brought Balaam unto the top of Peor, that looketh toward Jeshimon. 29And Balaam said unto Balak, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven bullocks and seven rams. 30And Balak did as Balaam had said, and offered a bullock and a ram on every altar.</div>
