Numbers 24:4-9
4
the prophecy of one who hears the words of God, who sees a vision from the Almighty,awho falls prostrate, and whose eyes are opened:
5
“How beautiful are your tents, Jacob, your dwelling places, Israel!
6
“Like valleys they spread out, like gardens beside a river, like aloes planted by the LORD, like cedars beside the waters.
7
Water will flow from their buckets; their seed will have abundant water. “Their king will be greater than Agag; their kingdom will be exalted.
8
“God brought them out of Egypt; they have the strength of a wild ox. They devour hostile nations and break their bones in pieces; with their arrows they pierce them.
9
Like a lion they crouch and lie down, like a lioness—who dares to rouse them? “May those who bless you be blessed and those who curse you be cursed!”
