Numbers 24

Numbers 24
1 And when Balaam saw that it seemed good in the sight of the LORD to bless Israel, it was not this time as before the enchantments: but he set his face toward the wilderness.
2 And Balaam lifted up his eyes, and when Israel saw that he dwelt after their tribes, the Spirit of God came upon him.
3 And he set up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor is speaking, and the man speaketh with the eyes open;
4 He that heareth the sayings of God speaketh, who seeth the vision of the Almighty, falling in ecstasy, and with open eyes:
5 How good are your tents, O Jacob! your dwellings, O Israel!
6 As a brook they extend themselves, like gardens by the rivers: as a tree of sandalwood the Lord hath planted them, as cedars by the waters.
7 Out of his buckets shall flow waters, and his seed shall be in many waters: and his king shall be exalted above Agag, and his kingdom shall be lifted up.
8 God brought him out of Egypt; his strength is like that of the unicorn: he will consume the nations, his enemies, and break his bones, and with his arrows he will cross them.
9 He bowed down, and lay down like a lion, and like a lion: who shall stir him up? Blessed are they that bless thee, and cursed them that curse thee.
10 And the anger of Balak was kindled against Balaam, and he smote his palms: and Balak said unto Balaam. To curse mine enemies I have called you; but now you have blessed them three times.
11 Now therefore flee to thy place: I had said that I would honor thee greatly; but behold, the Lord hath deprived thee of this honor.
12 And Balaam said unto Balak, I have not told thy messengers also, that thou hast sent me, saying,
13 Though Balak give me his house full of silver and gold, I can not transgress the commandment of the Lord, doing good or evil in my own heart: whatsoever the Lord shall speak, this shall I speak.
14 Now therefore, behold, I go to my people: Come, I will tell thee what these people shall do unto thy people in the last days.
15 And he set up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor is speaking, and the man speaketh with the eyes open;
16 He that heard the sayings of God, and he that knoweth the knowledge of the most High, hath seen the vision of the Almighty, fallen in ecstasy, and with open eyes.
17 I will see him, but not now; I will look upon it, but not near: a star shall proceed from Jacob, and a scepter shall come up out of Israel, and shall smite the borders of the Moabites, and shall destroy all the children of Seth.
18 And Edom shall be a possession, and Seir shall be a possession inherited for his enemies: for Israel shall do valiantly.
19 And he shall rule over Jacob, and he shall slay the remnant of the cities.
20 And when he saw the Amalekites, he set up his parable, and said, Amalek is the first of the nations: but his end shall be to destruction.
21 And when he saw the Kenites, he set up his parable, and said, It is a dwelling place, and thou hast set thy nest in the rock.
22 And the Kenite shall be consumed, until Asshur shall take thee as a captive.
23 And when he had lifted up his parable, he said, Alas, who shall live when God doeth this?
24 And the ships of the coast of the captain shall afflict Asshur; they shall afflict Heder; and he also shall be to perdition.
25 And Balaam arose, and departed, and returned to his place, and Balak also went his way.
