13 Oracle #1 “Balak brought me from Aram,
the king of Moab from the eastern mountains. ‘Come,’ he said, ‘curse Jacob for me; come, denounce Israel.’ 8How can I curse those whom God has not cursed? How can I denounce those whom the LORD has not denounced? 9From the rocky peaks I see them, from the heights I view them. I see a people who live apart and do not consider themselves one of the nations. 10Who can count the dust of Jacob or number even a fourth of Israel? Let me die the death of the righteous, and may my final end be like theirs!”

14 Oracle #2 the shout of the King is among them.
“Arise, Balak, and listen; 22 God brought them out of Egypt; hear me, son of Zippor. they have the strength of a wild ox. 19 God is not human, that he should lie, 23 There is no divination against Jacob, not a human being, that he should change his mind. no evil omens against Israel. Does he speak and then not act? It will now be said of Jacob Does he promise and not fulfill? and of Israel, ‘See what God has done!’ 20 I have received a command to bless; 24 The people rise like a lioness; he has blessed, and I cannot change it. they rouse themselves like a lion 21 “No misfortune is seen in Jacob, that does not rest till it devours its prey no misery observed in Israel. The LORD their God is with them; and drinks the blood of its victims.”

15 Oracle #3 7 Water will flow from their buckets;
The prophecy of Balaam son of Beor, their seed will have abundant water. the prophecy of one whose eye sees clearly, “Their king will be greater than Agag; their kingdom will be exalted. 4 the prophecy of one who hears the words of God, 8 “God brought them out of Egypt; who sees a vision from the Almighty, they have the strength of a wild ox. who falls prostrate, and whose eyes are opened: They devour hostile nations 5 “How beautiful are your tents, Jacob, and break their bones in pieces; your dwelling places, Israel! with their arrows they pierce them. 6 “Like valleys they spread out, 9 Like a lion they crouch and lie down, like gardens beside a river, like a lioness—who dares to rouse them? like aloes planted by the LORD, “May those who bless you be blessed like cedars beside the waters. and those who curse you be cursed!”
