1 And when Balaam 1109 saw 7200 that it pleased 5869 2895 the LORD 3068 to bless 1288 Israel 3478, he went 1980 not, as at other times 6471, to seek 7125 for enchantments 5173, but he set 7896 his face 6440 toward the wilderness 4057.
2 And Balaam 1109 lifted up 5375 his eyes 5869, and he saw 7200 Israel 3478 abiding 7931 in his tents according to their tribes 7626; and the spirit 7307 of God 430 came upon him.
3 And he took up 5375 his parable 4912, and said 559, Balaam 1109 the son 1121 of Beor 1160 hath said 5002, and the man 1397 whose eyes 5869 are open 8365 hath said 5002:
4 He hath said 5002, which heard 8085 the words 561 of God 410, which saw 2372 the vision 4236 of the Almighty 7706, falling 5307 into a trance, but having his eyes 5869 open 1540:
5 How goodly 2895 are thy tents 168, O Jacob 3290, and thy tabernacles 4908, O Israel 3478!
6 As the valleys 5158 are they spread forth 5186, as gardens 1593 by the river's side 5104, as the trees of lign aloes 174 which the LORD 3068 hath planted 5193, and as cedar trees 730 beside the waters 4325.
7 He shall pour 5140 0 the water 4325 out 5140 of his buckets 1805, and his seed 2233 shall be in many 7227 waters 4325, and his king 4428 shall be higher 7311 than Agag 90, and his kingdom 4438 shall be exalted 5375.
8 God 410 brought him forth 3318 out of Egypt 4714; he hath as it were the strength 8443 of an unicorn 7214: he shall eat up 398 the nations 1471 his enemies 6862, and shall break 1633 their bones 6106, and pierce 4272 them through with his arrows 2671.
9 He couched 3766, he lay down 7901 as a lion 738, and as a great lion 3833: who shall stir him up 6965? Blessed 1288 is he that blesseth 1288 thee, and cursed 779 is he that curseth 779 thee.
10 And Balak's 1111 anger 639 was kindled 2734 against Balaam 1109, and he smote 5606 0 his hands 3709 together 5606: and Balak 1111 said 559 unto Balaam 1109, I called 7121 thee to curse 6895 mine enemies 341, and, behold, thou hast altogether 1288 blessed 1288 them these three 7969 times 6471.
11 Therefore now flee 1272 thou to thy place 4725: I thought 559 to promote 3513 0 thee unto great 3513 honour 3513; but, lo, the LORD 3068 hath kept thee back 4513 from honour 3519.
12 And Balaam 1109 said 559 unto Balak 1111, Spake 1696 I not also to thy messengers 4397 which thou sentest 7971 unto me, saying 559,
13 If Balak 1111 would give 5414 me his house 1004 full 4393 of silver 3701 and gold 2091, I cannot 3201 go beyond 5674 the commandment 6310 of the LORD 3068, to do 6213 either good 2896 or bad 7451 of mine own mind 3820; but what the LORD 3068 saith 1696, that will I speak 1696?
14 And now, behold, I go 1980 unto my people 5971: come 3212 therefore, and I will advertise 3289 thee what this people 5971 shall do 6213 to thy people 5971 in the latter 319 days 3117.
15 And he took up 5375 his parable 4912, and said 559, Balaam 1109 the son 1121 of Beor 1160 hath said 5002, and the man 1397 whose eyes 5869 are open 8365 hath said 5002:
16 He hath said 5002, which heard 8085 the words 561 of God 410, and knew 3045 the knowledge 1847 of the most High 5945, which saw 2372 the vision 4236 of the Almighty 7706, falling 5307 into a trance, but having his eyes 5869 open 1540:
17 I shall see 7200 him, but not now: I shall behold 7789 him, but not nigh 7138: there shall come 1869 a Star 3556 out of Jacob 3290, and a Sceptre 7626 shall rise 6965 out of Israel 3478, and shall smite 4272 the corners 6285 of Moab 4124, and destroy 6979 all the children 1121 of Sheth 8352 8351.
18 And Edom 123 shall be a possession 3424, Seir 8165 also shall be a possession 3424 for his enemies 341; and Israel 3478 shall do 6213 valiantly 2428.
19 Out of Jacob 3290 shall come he that shall have dominion 7287, and shall destroy 6 him that remaineth 8300 of the city 5892.
20 And when he looked 7200 on Amalek 6002, he took up 5375 his parable 4912, and said 559, Amalek 6002 was the first 7225 of the nations 1471; but his latter 319 end shall be that he perish 8 for ever 5703.
21 And he looked 7200 on the Kenites 7017, and took up 5375 his parable 4912, and said 559, Strong 386 is thy dwellingplace 4186, and thou puttest 7760 thy nest 7064 in a rock 5553.
22 Nevertheless the Kenite 7014 shall 518 be wasted 1197, until Asshur 804 shall carry thee away captive 7617.
23 And he took up 5375 his parable 4912, and said 559, Alas 188, who shall live 2421 when God 410 doeth 7760 this!
24 And ships 6716 shall come from the coast 3027 of Chittim 3794, and shall afflict 6031 Asshur 804, and shall afflict 6031 Eber 5677, and he also shall perish 8 for ever 5703.
25 And Balaam 1109 rose up 6965, and went 3212 and returned 7725 to his place 4725: and Balak 1111 also went 1980 his way 1870.
