18 And he took up his parable and said, Rise up, Balak, and hear; and give ear to my testimony, O son of Zippor; 19 God is not a man that he should lie; neither the son of man that he should be given counsel; he speaks and he shall do it, and his word abides for ever. 20 Behold, I was brought here to bless; and I cannot reverse the blessing. 21 I do not behold iniquity in Jacob, neither have I seen malice in Israel; the LORD his God is with him, and the glory of his King is among them. 22 God brought them out of Egypt with his might and excellency. 23 For there is no augury in Jacob, neither is there any divination in Israel; according to this time it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel, What has God wrought! 24 Behold, the people shall rise up as a lion and march like a lion; he shall not lie down until he eats the prey and drinks the blood of the slain.
