• 1. Balaam said, "Build me seven altars here, and prepare seven bulls and seven rams for me."

• 2. Balak did as Balaam said, and the two of them offered a bull and a ram on each altar.

• 3. Then Balaam said to Balak, "Stay here beside your offering while I go aside. Perhaps the LORD will come to meet with me. Whatever he reveals to me I will tell you." Then he went off to a barren height.

• 4. God met with him, and Balaam said, "I have prepared seven altars, and on each altar I have offered a bull and a ram."

• 5. The LORD put a message in Balaam's mouth and said, "Go back to Balak and give him this message."

• 6. So he went back to him and found him standing beside his offering, with all the princes of Moab.

• 7. Then Balaam uttered his oracle: "Balak brought me from Aram, the king of Moab from the eastern mountains. 'Come,' he said, 'curse Jacob for me; come, denounce Israel.'

• 8. How can I curse those whom God has not cursed? How can I denounce those whom the LORD has not denounced?

• 9. From the rocky peaks I see them, from the heights I view them. I see a people who live apart and do not consider themselves one of the nations.

• 10. Who can count the dust of Jacob or number the fourth part of Israel? Let me die the death of the righteous, and may my end be like theirs!"

• 11. Balak said to Balaam, "What have you done to me? I brought you to curse my enemies, but you have done nothing but bless them!"

• 12. He answered, "Must I not speak what the LORD puts in my mouth?"

• 13. Then Balak said to him, "Come with me to another place where you can see them; you will see only a part but not all of them. And from there, curse them for me."

• 14. So he took him to the field of Zophim on the top of Pisgah, and there he built seven altars and offered a bull and a ram on each altar.

• 15. Balaam said to Balak, "Stay here beside your offering while I meet with him over there."

• 16. The LORD met with Balaam and put a message in his mouth and said, "Go back to Balak and give him this message."

• 17. So he went to him and found him standing beside his offering, with the princes of Moab. Balak asked him, "What did the LORD say?"

• 18. Then he uttered his oracle: "Arise, Balak, and listen; hear me, son of Zippor.

• 19. God is not a man, that he should lie, nor a son of man, that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill?

• 20. I have received a command to bless; he has blessed, and I cannot change it.

• 21. "No misfortune is seen in Jacob, no misery observed in Israel. The LORD their God is with them; the shout of the King is among them.

• 22. God brought them out of Egypt; they have the strength of a wild ox.

• 23. There is no sorcery against Jacob, no divination against Israel. It will now be said of Jacob and of Israel, 'See what God has done!'

• 24. The people rise like a lioness; they rouse themselves like a lion that does not rest till he devours his prey and drinks the blood of his victims."

• 25. Then Balak said to Balaam, "Neither curse them at all nor bless them at all!"

• 26. Balaam answered, "Did I not tell you I must do whatever the LORD says?"

• 27. Then Balak said to Balaam, "Come, let me take you to another place. Perhaps it will please God to let you curse them for me from there."

• 28. And Balak took Balaam to the top of Peor, overlooking the wasteland.

• 29. Balaam said, "Build me seven altars here, and prepare seven bulls and seven rams for me."

• 30. Balak did as Balaam had said, and offered a bull and a ram on each altar.
