Chapter 23

14So he took him to the field of Zophim, to the top of Pisgah, and he built seven altars and offered a bull and a ram on each altar. 15Then he said to Balak, 'Stand here beside your burnt offering while I myself meet the Lord over there.' 16Then the Lord met Balaam and put a word in his mouth, and said, 'Return to Balak, and this is what you shall speak.' 17So he came to him, and behold, he was standing beside his burnt offering, and the leaders of Moab with him. And Balak said to him, 'What has the Lord spoken?'
18Then he took up his discourse and said, 'Arise, Balak, and hear; Listen to me, son of Zippor! 19God is not a man, that He would lie, Nor a son of man, that He would change His mind; Has He said, and will He not do it? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?
King James Version

Chapter 23

14And he brought him into the field of Zophim, to the top of Pisgah, and built seven altars, and offered a bullock and a ram on every altar. 15And he said unto Balak, Stand here by thy burnt offering, while I meet the Lord yonder. 16And the Lord met Balaam, and put a word in his mouth, and said, Go again unto Balak, and say thus. 17And when he came to him, behold, he stood by his burnt offering, and the princes of Moab with him. And Balak said unto him, What hath the Lord spoken? 18And he took up his parable, and said, Rise up, Balak, and hear; hearken unto me, thou son of Zippor:
19God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?

Chapter 23

14So Balak took him to Lookout Field on top of Pisgah, built seven altars, and offered a bull and a ram on each altar.
15Balaam said to Balak, "Stay here by your burnt offering while I seek the Lord over there."
16The Lord met with Balaam and put a message in his mouth. Then he said, "Return to Balak and say what I tell you."
17So he returned to Balak, who was standing there by his burnt offering with the officials of Moab. Balak asked him, "What did the Lord say?"
18Balaam proclaimed his poem: Balak, get up and listen; son of Zippor, pay attention to what I say! 19God is not a man, that he might lie, or a son of man, that he might change his mind. Does he speak and not act, or promise and not fulfill?
New Living Translation

Chapter 23

14So Balak took Balaam to the plateau of Zophim on Pisgah Peak. He built seven altars there and offered a young bull and a ram on each altar.
15Then Balaam said to the king, 'Stand here by your burnt offerings while I go over there to meet the Lord.'
16And the Lord met Balaam and gave him a message. Then he said, 'Go back to Balak and give him my message.'
17So Balaam returned and found the king standing beside his burnt offerings with all the officials of Moab. 'What did the Lord say?' Balak asked eagerly.
18This was the message Balaam delivered: 'Rise up, Balak, and listen! Hear me, son of Zippor. 19God is not a man, so he does not lie. He is not human, so he does not change his mind. Has he ever spoken and failed to act? Has he ever promised and not carried it through?
