Numbers 23:10-20

10 Who can count the dust of Jacob, or number the dust-cloud of Israel? Let me die the death of the upright, and let my end be like his!"
11 Then Balak said to Balaam, "What have you done to me? I brought you to curse my enemies, but now you have done nothing but bless them."
12 He answered, "Must I not take care to say what the Lord puts into my mouth?"
13 So Balak said to him, "Come with me to another place from which you may see them; you shall see only part of them, and shall not see them all; then curse them for me from there."
14 So he took him to the field of Zophim, to the top of Pisgah. He built seven altars, and offered a bull and a ram on each altar
15 Balaam said to Balak, "Stand here beside your burnt offerings, while I meet the Lord over there."
16 The Lord met Balaam, put a word into his mouth, and said, "Return to Balak, and this is what you shall say."
17 When he came to him, he was standing beside his burnt offerings with the officials of Moab. Balak said to him, "What has the Lord said?"
18 Then Balaam uttered his oracle, saying: "Rise, Balak, and hear; listen to me, O son of Zippor:
19 God is not a human being, that he should lie, or a mortal, that he should change his mind. Has he promised, and will he not do it? Has he spoken, and will he not fulfill it
20 See, I received a command to bless; he has blessed, and I cannot revoke it.
