God led him out of Egypt; he has as it were the glory of a unicorn: he shall consume the nations of his enemies, and he shall drain their marrow, and with his darts he shall shoot through the enemy.
9
He lay down, he rested as a lion, and as a young lion; who shall stir him up? they that bless thee are blessed, and they that curse thee are cursed.
10
And Balac was angry with Balaam, and clapped his hands together; and Balac said to Balaam, I called thee to curse my enemy, and behold thou hast decidedly blessed this third time.
11
Now therefore flee to thy place: I said, I will honour thee, but now the Lord has deprived thee of glory.
12
And Balaam said to Balac, Did I not speak to thy messengers also whom thou sentest to me, saying,
13
If Balac should give me his house full of silver and gold, I shall not be able to transgress the word of the Lord to make it good or bad by myself; whatsoever things God shall say, them will I speak.
14
And now, behold, I return to my place; come, I will advise thee of what this people shall do to thy people in the last days.
15
And he took up his parable and said, Balaam the son of Beor says, the man who sees truly says,
16

17
I will point to him, but not now; I bless him, but he draws not near: a star shall rise out of Jacob, a man shall spring out of Israel; and shall crush the princes of Moab, and shall spoil all the sons of Seth.
18
And Edom shall be an inheritance, and Esau his enemy shall be an inheritance , and Israel wrought valiantly.
