Numbers Chapter 24The Darby Bible2: And Balaam lifted up his eyes and saw Israel dwelling [in tents] according to his tribes; and the Spirit of God came upon him. 3: And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor saith, and the man of opened eye saith, 4: He saith, who heareth the words of God, who seeth the vision of the Almighty, who falleth down, and who hath his eyes open: 5: How goodly are thy tents, Jacob, and thy tabernacles, Israel! 6: Like valleys are they spread forth, like gardens by the river side, Like aloe-trees which Jehovah hath planted, like cedars beside the waters. 7: Water shall flow out of his buckets, and his seed shall be in great waters, And his king shall be higher than Agag, and his kingdom shall be exalted. 8: God brought him out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of a buffalo. He shall consume the nations his enemies, and break their bones, and with his arrows shall smite [them] in pieces. 9: He stooped, he lay down like a lion, and like a lioness: who will stir him up? Blessed is he that blesseth thee, and cursed is he that curseth thee. 10: Then Balak's anger was kindled against Balaam, and he smote his hands together; and Balak said to Balaam, I called thee to curse mine enemies, and behold, thou hast altogether blessed [them] these three times! 11: And now flee thou to thy place; I said I would very highly honour thee, and behold, Jehovah has kept thee back from honour. 12: And Balaam said to Balak, Did I not also speak to thy messengers whom thou sentest to me, saying, 13: If Balak gave me his house full of silver and gold, I could not go beyond the commandment of Jehovah to do good or bad out of my heart: what Jehovah shall say, that will I speak? 14: And now behold, I go to my people: come, I will admonish thee what this people will do to thy people at the end of days. 15: And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor saith, and the man of opened eye saith, 16: He saith, who heareth the words of God, who knoweth the knowledge of the Most High, Who seeth the vision of the Almighty, who falleth down, and who hath his eyes open: 17: I shall see him, but not now; I shall behold him, but not nigh: There cometh a Star out of Jacob, and a Sceptre shall rise out of Israel, and he shall cut in pieces the corners of Moab, and destroy all the sons of tumult. 18: And Edom shall be a possession, and Seir a possession, -- they, his enemies; but Israel will do valiantly. 19: And one out of Jacob shall have dominion, and will destroy out of the city what remaineth. 20: And he saw Amalek, and took up his parable, and said, Amalek is the first of the nations, but his latter end shall be for destruction. 21: And he saw the Kenites, and took up his parable, and said, Firm is thy dwelling-place, and thy nest fixed in the rock; 22: But the Kenite shall be consumed, until Asshur shall carry thee away captive. 23: And he took up his parable, and said, Alas! Who shall live when God doeth this? 24: And ships shall come from the coast of Chittim, and afflict Asshur, and afflict Eber, and he also shall be for destruction. 25: And Balaam rose up, and went and returned to his place; and Balak also went his way.
