He shall devour the nations [who are] his adversaries, And shall crush their bones in pieces, And shatter [them] with his arrows.H410H3318H4714H8443H7214H398H1471H6862H1633H6106H4272H26719"He couches, he lies down as a lion, And as a lion, who dares rouse him? Blessed is everyone who blesses you, And cursed is everyone who curses you."H3766H7901H738H3833H6965H1288H1288H779H77910Then 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!H1111H639H2734H1109H5606H3709H5606H1111H559H1109H7121H6895H341H1288H1288H7969H647111"Therefore, flee to your place now. I said I would honor you greatly, but behold, the LORD has held you back from honor."H1272H4725H559H3513H3513H3513H3068H4513H351912And Balaam said to Balak, "Did I not tell your messengers whom you had sent to me, saying,H1109H559H1111H1696H4397H7971H55913'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'?H1111H5414H1004H4393H3701H2091H3201H5674H6310H3068H6213H2896H7451H3820H3068H1696H169614"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."H1980H5971H3212H3289H5971H6213H5971H319H311715And 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,H5375H4912H559H1109H1121H1160H5002H1397H5869H8365H500216The 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.H5002H8085H561H410H3045H1847H5945H2372H4236H7706H5307H5869H154017"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.H7200H7789H7138H1869H3556H3290H7626H6965H3478H4272H6285H4124H6979H1121H8352H835118"And Edom shall be a possession, Seir, its enemies, also shall be a possession, While Israel performs valiantly.H123H3424H8165H3424H341H3478H6213H242819"One from Jacob shall have dominion, And shall destroy the remnant from the city."H3290H7287H6H8300H589220And he looked at Amalek and took up his discourse and said, " Amalek was the first of the nations, But his end [shall be] destruction."H7200H6002H5375H4912H559H6002H7225H1471H319H8H570321And 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.H7200H7017H5375H4912H559H386H4186H7760H7064H555322"Nevertheless Kain shall be consumed; How long shall Asshur keep you captive?"H7014H518H1197H804H761723And he took up his discourse and said, "Alas, who can live except God has ordained it?H5375H4912H559H188H2421H410H776024"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."H6716H3027H3794H6031H804H6031H5677H8H570325Then Balaam arose and departed and returned to his place, and Balak also went his way.H1109H6965H3212H7725H4725H1111H1980H1870
