Numbers 24:8-25

24:8

God
<0410>

brought him forth
<03318> (8688)

out of Egypt
<04714>_;

he hath as it were the strength
<08443>

of an unicorn
<07214>_:

he shall eat up
<0398> (8799)

the nations
<01471>

his enemies
<06862>_,

and shall break
<01633> (8762)

their bones
<06106>_,

and pierce
<04272> (8799)

[them] through with his arrows
<02671>_.

24:9

He couched
<03766> (8804)_,

he lay down
<07901> (8804)

as a lion
<0738>_,

and as a great lion
<03833>_:

who shall stir him up
<06965> (8686)_?

Blessed
<01288> (8803)

[is] he that blesseth
<01288> (8764)

thee, and cursed
<0779> (8803)

[is] he that curseth
<0779> (8802)

thee.

24:10

And Balak's
<01111>

anger
<0639>

was kindled
<02734> (8799)

against Balaam
<01109>_,

and he smote
<05606> (0)

his hands
<03709>

together
<05606> (8799)_:

and Balak
<01111>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Balaam
<01109>_,

I called
<07121> (8804)

thee to curse
<06895> (8800)

mine enemies
<0341> (8802)_,

and, behold, thou hast altogether
<01288> (8763)

blessed
<01288> (8765)

[them] these three
<07969>

times
<06471>_.

24:11

Therefore now flee
<01272> (8798)

thou to thy place
<04725>_:

I thought
<0559> (8804)

to promote
<03513> (0)

thee unto great
<03513> (8763)

honour
<03513> (8762)_;

but, lo, the LORD
<03068>

hath kept thee back
<04513> (8804)

from honour
<03519>_.

24:12

And Balaam
<01109>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Balak
<01111>_,

Spake
<01696> (8765)

I not also to thy messengers
<04397>

which thou sentest
<07971> (8804)

unto me, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

24:13

If Balak
<01111>

would give
<05414> (8799)

me his house
<01004>

full
<04393>

of silver
<03701>

and gold
<02091>_,

I cannot
<03201> (8799)

go beyond
<05674> (8800)

the commandment
<06310>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

to do
<06213> (8800)

[either] good
<02896>

or bad
<07451>

of mine own mind
<03820>_;

[but] what the LORD
<03068>

saith
<01696> (8762)_,

that will I speak
<01696> (8762)_?

24:14

And now, behold, I go
<01980> (8802)

unto my people
<05971>_:

come
<03212> (8798)

[therefore, and] I will advertise
<03289> (8799)

thee what this people
<05971>

shall do
<06213> (8799)

to thy people
<05971>

in the latter
<0319>

days
<03117>_.

24:15

And he took up
<05375> (8799)

his parable
<04912>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Balaam
<01109>

the son
<01121>

of Beor
<01160>

hath said
<05002> (8803)_,

and the man
<01397>

whose eyes
<05869>

are open
<08365> (8803)

hath said
<05002> (8803)_:

24:16

He hath said
<05002> (8803)_,

which heard
<08085> (8802)

the words
<0561>

of God
<0410>_,

and knew
<03045> (8802)

the knowledge
<01847>

of the most High
<05945>_,

[which] saw
<02372> (8799)

the vision
<04236>

of the Almighty
<07706>_,

falling
<05307> (8802)

[into a trance], but having his eyes
<05869>

open
<01540> (8803)_:

24:17

I shall see
<07200> (8799)

him, but not now: I shall behold
<07789> (8799)

him, but not nigh
<07138>_:

there shall come
<01869> (8804)

a Star
<03556>

out of Jacob
<03290>_,

and a Sceptre
<07626>

shall rise
<06965> (8804)

out of Israel
<03478>_,

and shall smite
<04272> (8804)

the corners
<06285>

of Moab
<04124>_,

and destroy
<06979> (8773)

all the children
<01121>

of Sheth
<08352> (8676) <08351>_.

{smite...: or, smite through the princes of}

24:18

And Edom
<0123>

shall be a possession
<03424>_,

Seir
<08165>

also shall be a possession
<03424>

for his enemies
<0341> (8802)_;

and Israel
<03478>

shall do
<06213> (8802)

valiantly
<02428>_.

24:19

Out of Jacob
<03290>

shall come he that shall have dominion
<07287> (8799)_,

and shall destroy
<06> (8689)

him that remaineth
<08300>

of the city
<05892>_.

24:20

And when he looked
<07200> (8799)

on Amalek
<06002>_,

he took up
<05375> (8799)

his parable
<04912>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Amalek
<06002>

[was] the first
<07225>

of the nations
<01471>_;

but his latter
<0319>

end [shall be] that he perish
<08>

for ever
<05703>_.

{the nations: the nations that warred against Israel} {that...: or, even to destruction}

24:21

And he looked
<07200> (8799)

on the Kenites
<07017>_,

and took up
<05375> (8799)

his parable
<04912>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Strong
<0386>

is thy dwellingplace
<04186>_,

and thou puttest
<07760> (8798)

thy nest
<07064>

in a rock
<05553>_.

24:22

Nevertheless the Kenite
<07014>

shall
<0518>

be wasted
<01197> (8763)_,

until Asshur
<0804>

shall carry thee away captive
<07617> (8799)_.

{the Kenite: Heb. Kain} {until...: or, how long shall it be ere Asshur carry thee away captive}

24:23

And he took up
<05375> (8799)

his parable
<04912>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Alas
<0188>_,

who shall live
<02421> (8799)

when God
<0410>

doeth
<07760> (8800)

this!

24:24

And ships
<06716>

[shall come] from the coast
<03027>

of Chittim
<03794>_,

and shall afflict
<06031> (8765)

Asshur
<0804>_,

and shall afflict
<06031> (8765)

Eber
<05677>_,

and he also shall perish
<08>

for ever
<05703>_.

24:25

And Balaam
<01109>

rose up
<06965> (8799)_,

and went
<03212> (8799)

and returned
<07725> (8799)

to his place
<04725>_:

and Balak
<01111>

also went
<01980> (8804)

his way
<01870>_.
