I said I would honor you greatly, but behold, the LORD has held you back from honor."H1272H4725H559H3513H3513H3513H3068H4513H3519 12And Balaam said to Balak, "Did I not tell your messengers whom you had sent to me, saying,H1109H559H1111H1696H4397H7971H559 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'?H1111H5414H1004H4393H3701H2091H3201H5674H6310H3068H6213H2896H7451H3820H3068H1696H1696 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."H1980H5971H3212H3289H5971H6213H5971H319H3117 15And 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,H5375H4912H559H1109H1121H1160H5002H1397H5869H8365H5002 16The oracle of him who hears the words of God, And knows the knowledge of the Most High, Who sees the vision of the Almighty, Falling down, yet having his eyes uncovered.H5002H8085H561H410H3045H1847H5945H2372H4236H7706H5307H5869H1540 17"I see him, but not now; I behold him, but not near; A star shall come forth from Jacob, And a scepter shall rise from Israel, And shall crush through the forehead of Moab, And tear down all the sons of Sheth.H7200H7789H7138H1869H3556H3290H7626H6965H3478H4272H6285H4124H6979H1121H8352H8351 18"And Edom shall be a possession, Seir, its enemies, also shall be a possession, While Israel performs valiantly.H123H3424H8165H3424H341H3478H6213H2428 19"One from Jacob shall have dominion, And shall destroy the remnant from the city."H3290H7287H6H8300H5892 20And he looked at Amalek and took up his discourse and said, " Amalek was the first of the nations, But his end [shall be] destruction."H7200H6002H5375H4912H559H6002H7225H1471H319H8H5703 21And 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.H7200H7017H5375H4912H559H386H4186H7760H7064H5553 22"Nevertheless Kain shall be consumed; How long shall Asshur keep you captive?"H7014H518H1197H804H7617 23And he took up his discourse and said, "Alas, who can live except God has ordained it?H5375H4912H559H188H2421H410H7760 24"But ships [shall come] from the coast of Kittim, And they shall afflict Asshur and shall afflict Eber; So they also [shall come] to destruction."H6716H3027H3794H6031H804H6031H5677H8H5703 25Then Balaam arose and departed and returned to his place, and Balak also went his way.H1109H6965H3212H7725H4725H1111H1980H1870
