12. And he answered and said, Must I not take heed to speak that which the Lord has put in my mouth?
13. And Balak said unto him, Come, I pray thee, with me unto another place, from which thou may see them; thou hast seen but the utmost part of them and hast not seen them all; and from there thou shalt curse them for me.
14. And he brought him into the field of Zophim to the top of Pisgah and built seven altars and offered a bullock and a ram on every altar.
15. Then he said unto Balak, Stand here by thy burnt offering, while I meet the Lord yonder.
16. And the Lord met Balaam and put a word in his mouth and said unto him, Go again unto Balak and say thus.
17. And he came unto him, and behold, he stood by his burnt offering and the princes of Moab with him. And Balak said unto him, What has the Lord spoken?
18. Then he took up his parable and said, Rise up, Balak, and hear; hearken unto me, thou son of Zippor:
19. God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent; he said and shall he not do it? He spoke and shall he not execute it?
20. Behold, I have received blessing; and he has blessed; and I cannot reverse it.
21. He has not beheld iniquity in Jacob, neither has he seen rebellion in Israel; the Lord his God is with him, and the battle-cry of a king is in him.
22. God brought them out of Egypt; he has, as it were the strength of a unicorn.
23. Because there is no enchantment in Jacob, neither is there any divination in Israel. According to this time, it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel, What God has made!
24. Behold the people, who shall rise up as a great lion and lift up himself as a young lion; he shall not lie down until he eats of the prey and drinks the blood of the slain.
25. Then Balak said unto Balaam, Now that you do not curse them, do not bless them either.
26. Then Balaam said unto Balak, Did I not tell thee that all that the Lord says unto me, that I must do?
27. And Balak said unto Balaam, Come, I pray thee, I will bring thee unto another place; peradventure it will please God that thou may curse them for me from there.
