H1109
And when Balaam
H7200
saw
[H8799]
H5869
that it pleased
H2895
[H8804]
H3068
the LORD
H1288
to bless
[H8763]
H3478
Israel
H1980
, he went
[H8804]
H6471
not, as at other times
H7125
, to seek
[H8800]
H5173
for enchantments
H7896
, but he set
[H8799]
H6440
his face
H4057
toward the wilderness.
2
H1109
And Balaam
H5375
lifted up
[H8799]
H5869
his eyes
H7200
, and he saw
[H8799]
H3478
Israel
H7931
abiding
[H8802]
H7626
in his tents according to their tribes
H7307
; and the spirit
H430
of God came upon him.
3
H5375
And he took up
[H8799]
H4912
his parable
H559
, and said
[H8799]
H1109
, Balaam
H1121
the son
H1160
of Beor
H5002
hath said
[H8803]
H1397
, and the man
H5869
whose eyes
H8365
are open
[H8803]
H5002
hath said
[H8803]
:
4
H5002
He hath said
[H8803]
H8085
, which heard
[H8802]
H561
the words
H410
of God
H2372
, which saw
[H8799]
H4236
the vision
H7706
of the Almighty
H5307
, falling
[H8802]
H5869
into a trance, but having his eyes
H1540
open
[H8803]
:
5
H2895
How goodly
[H8804]
H168
are thy tents
H3290
, O Jacob
H4908
, and thy tabernacles
H3478
, O Israel!
6
H5158
As the valleys
H5186
are they spread forth
[H8738]
H1593
, as gardens
H5104
by the river's side
H174
, as the trees of lign aloes
H3068
which the LORD
H5193
hath planted
[H8804]
H730
, and as cedar trees
H4325
beside the waters.
7
H5140
He shall pour
H4325
the water
H5140
out
[H8799]
H1805
of his buckets
H2233
, and his seed
H7227
shall be in many
H4325
waters
H4428
, and his king
H7311
shall be higher
[H8799]
H90
than Agag
H4438
, and his kingdom
H5375
shall be exalted
[H8691]
.
8
H410
God
H3318
brought him forth
[H8688]
H4714
out of Egypt
H8443
; he hath as it were the strength
H7214
of an unicorn
H398
: he shall eat up
[H8799]
H1471
the nations
H6862
his enemies
H1633
, and shall break
[H8762]
H6106
their bones
H4272
, and pierce
[H8799]
H2671
them through with his arrows.
9
H3766
He couched
[H8804]
H7901
, he lay down
[H8804]
H738
as a lion
H3833
, and as a great lion
H6965
: who shall stir him up
[H8686]
H1288
? Blessed
[H8803]
H1288
is he that blesseth
[H8764]
H779
thee, and cursed
[H8803]
H779
is he that curseth
[H8802]
thee.
10
H1111
And Balak's
H639
anger
H2734
was kindled
[H8799]
H1109
against Balaam
H5606
, and he smote
H3709
his hands
H5606
together
[H8799]
H1111
: and Balak
H559
said
[H8799]
H1109
unto Balaam
H7121
, I called
[H8804]
H6895
thee to curse
[H8800]
H341
mine enemies
[H8802]
H1288
, and, behold, thou hast altogether
[H8763]
H1288
blessed
[H8765]
H7969
them these three
H6471
times.
11
H1272
Therefore now flee
[H8798]
H4725
thou to thy place
H559
: I thought
[H8804]
H3513
to promote
H3513
thee unto great
[H8763]
H3513
honour
[H8762]
H3068
; but, lo, the LORD
H4513
hath kept thee back
[H8804]
H3519
from honour.
12
H1109
And Balaam
H559
said
[H8799]
H1111
unto Balak
H1696
, Spake
[H8765]
H4397
I not also to thy messengers
H7971
which thou sentest
[H8804]
H559
unto me, saying
[H8800]
,
13
H1111
If Balak
H5414
would give
[H8799]
H1004
me his house
H4393
full
H3701
of silver
H2091
and gold
H3201
, I cannot
[H8799]
H5674
go beyond
[H8800]
H6310
the commandment
H3068
of the LORD
H6213
, to do
[H8800]
H2896
either good
H7451
or bad
H3820
of mine own mind
H3068
; but what the LORD
H1696
saith
[H8762]
H1696
, that will I speak
[H8762]
?
14
H1980
And now, behold, I go
[H8802]
H5971
unto my people
H3212
: come
[H8798]
H3289
therefore, and I will advertise
[H8799]
H5971
thee what this people
H6213
shall do
[H8799]
H5971
to thy people
H319
in the latter
H3117
days.
15
H5375
And he took up
[H8799]
H4912
his parable
H559
, and said
[H8799]
H1109
, Balaam
H1121
the son
H1160
of Beor
H5002
hath said
[H8803]
H1397
, and the man
H5869
whose eyes
H8365
are open
[H8803]
H5002
hath said
[H8803]
:
16
H5002
He hath said
[H8803]
H8085
, which heard
[H8802]
H561
the words
H410
of God
H3045
, and knew
[H8802]
H1847
the knowledge
H5945
of the most High
H2372
, which saw
[H8799]
H4236
the vision
H7706
of the Almighty
H5307
, falling
[H8802]
H5869
into a trance, but having his eyes
H1540
open
[H8803]
:
17
H7200
I shall see
[H8799]
H7789
him, but not now: I shall behold
[H8799]
H7138
him, but not nigh
H1869
: there shall come
[H8804]
H3556
a Star
H3290
out of Jacob
H7626
, and a Sceptre
H6965
shall rise
[H8804]
H3478
out of Israel
H4272
, and shall smite
[H8804]
H6285
the corners
H4124
of Moab
H6979
, and destroy
[H8773]
H1121
all the children
H8352
of Sheth
[H8676]
H8351
.
18
H123
And Edom
H3424
shall be a possession
H8165
, Seir
H3424
also shall be a possession
H341
for his enemies
[H8802]
H3478
; and Israel
H6213
shall do
[H8802]
H2428
valiantly.
19
H3290
Out of Jacob
H7287
shall come he that shall have dominion
[H8799]
H6
, and shall destroy
[H8689]
H8300
him that remaineth
H5892
of the city.
20
H7200
And when he looked
[H8799]
H6002
on Amalek
H5375
, he took up
[H8799]
H4912
his parable
H559
, and said
[H8799]
H6002
, Amalek
H7225
was the first
H1471
of the nations
H319
; but his latter
H8
end shall be that he perish
H5703
for ever.
21
H7200
And he looked
[H8799]
H7017
on the Kenites
H5375
, and took up
[H8799]
H4912
his parable
H559
, and said
[H8799]
H386
, Strong
H4186
is thy dwellingplace
H7760
, and thou puttest
[H8798]
H7064
thy nest
H5553
in a rock.
22
H7014
Nevertheless the Kenite
H518
shall
H1197
be wasted
[H8763]
H804
, until Asshur
H7617
shall carry thee away captive
[H8799]
.
23
H5375
And he took up
[H8799]
H4912
his parable
H559
, and said
[H8799]
H188
, Alas
H2421
, who shall live
[H8799]
H410
when God
H7760
doeth
[H8800]
this!
