Numbers 24:1-4 ▼

1 When Balaam noticed that the LORD was pleased that Balaam was blessing Israel, he didn't behave as he had time after time before, that is, to practice divination. Instead, he turned with his face to the wilderness,

2 looked up, and saw Israel encamped in their respective tribal order. Just then, the spirit of God came upon him.

3 Balaam uttered this prophetic statement: |A declaration by Beor's son Balaam, a declaration by the strong, blind man.

4 A declaration from one who hears what God has to say, who saw the vision that the Almighty revealed, who keeps stumbling with open eyes.
