Chapter 24

1When Balaam saw that it pleased the LORD to bless Israel, he did not go as at other times to seek omens, but he set his face toward the wilderness. 2And Balaam lifted up his eyes and saw Israel dwelling in his tents, tribe by tribe. And the Spirit of God came upon him. 3And he took up his discourse and said, The oracle of Balaam the son of Beor, the oracle of the man whose eye is opened, 4the oracle of him who hears the words of God, who sees the vision of the Almighty, falling down with his eyes uncovered: 5How lovely are your tents, O Jacob, your encampments, O Israel! 6Like valleys that stretch afar, like gardens beside a river, like aloes that the LORD has planted, like cedar trees beside the waters. 7Water shall flow from his buckets, and his seed shall be in many waters; his king shall be higher than Agag, and his kingdom shall be exalted. 8God brings him out of Egypt and is for him like the horns of the wild ox; he shall devour the nations his adversaries, and shall break their bones in pieces and pierce them through with his arrows. 9He crouched, he lay down as a lion and as a lioness; who will rouse him up? Blessed are those who bless you, and cursed are those who curse you. 10And Balak's anger was kindled against Balaam, and he struck his hands together. And Balak said to Balaam, “I called you to curse my enemies, and behold, you have blessed them these three times. 11Therefore flee to your own place. I said I would certainly honor you, but behold, the LORD has held you back from honor.” 12And Balaam said to Balak, “Did I not tell your messengers whom you sent to me, 13‘If Balak should give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the command of the LORD to do either good or bad of my own will. What the LORD speaks, that will I speak’? 14And now, behold, I am going to my people. Come, I will let you know what this people will do to your people in the latter days.” 15And he took up his discourse and said, The oracle of Balaam the son of Beor, the oracle of the man whose eye is opened, 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 with his eyes uncovered: 17I see him, but not now; I behold him, but not near: a star shall come out of Jacob, and a scepter shall rise out of Israel; it shall crush the forehead of Moab and break down all the sons of Sheth. 18Edom shall be dispossessed; Seir also, his enemies, shall be dispossessed. Israel then shall do valiantly. 19And one from Jacob shall exercise dominion and destroy the survivors of cities!” 20Then he looked on Amalek and took up his discourse and said, “Amalek was the first among the nations, but its end is utter destruction.” 21Then he looked on the Kenite, and took up his discourse and said, “Your dwelling is secure, and your nest is set in the rock. 22Nevertheless, the Kenite shall be wasted away, until Asshur carries you away captive.” 23Then he took up his discourse and said, “Alas, who shall live when God does this? 24But ships shall come from Kittim and shall afflict Asshur and Eber; and he also shall come to utter destruction.” 25Then Balaam arose and went back to his place. And Balak also went his way.
