18 And he takes up his allegory and says: “Rise, Balak, and hear; Give ear to me, son of Zippor! 19 God [is] not a man—and lies, || And a son of man—and relents! Has He said—and He does not do [it]? And spoken—and He does not confirm it? 20 Behold, I have received [only] to bless; Indeed, He blesses, and I cannot reverse it. 21 He has not beheld iniquity in Jacob, || Nor has He seen perverseness in Israel; His God YHWH [is] with him, || And a shout of a king [is] in him. 22 God is bringing them out from Egypt, || As the swiftness of a wild ox for him; 23 For no enchantment [is] against Jacob, || Nor divination against Israel; At the time it is said of Jacob and Israel, || O what God has worked! 24 Behold, the people rises as a lioness, || And he lifts himself up as a lion; He does not lie down until he eats prey, || And drinks blood of pierced ones.” Numbers 23:18-24, Literal Standard Version.
