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. 5 Jacob, your tents are so fine, as well as your dwelling places, O Israel! 6 They're spread out like valleys, like gardens along river banks, like aloe planted by the LORD, or like cedars beside water. 7 He will pour water from his buckets, and his descendants will stream forth like abundant water. His king will be more exalted than Agag when he exalts his own kingdom. 8 God is bringing them out of Egypt with the strength of an ox. He'll devour enemy nations, break their bones, and impale them with arrows. 9 He crouches, laying low like a lion. Who would awaken him? Those who bless you are blessed, and those who curse you are cursed.| Numbers 24:3-9, Intl. Standard Version. Copyright © 1995-2014 by ISV Foundation.
