Numbers 23:24-28
New American Standard Bible

Chapter 23

24Behold, a people rises like a lioness, And like a lion it raises itself; It will not lie down until it devours the prey, And drinks the blood of those slain.'
25Then Balak said to Balaam, 'Do not curse them at all nor bless them at all!' 26But Balaam replied to Balak, 'Did I not tell you, ‘ Whatever the Lord speaks, I must do’?'
27Then Balak said to Balaam, 'Please come, I will take you to another place; perhaps it will be agreeable with God that you curse them for me from there.' 28So Balak took Balaam to the top of Peor, which overlooks the desert.
King James Version

Chapter 23

24Behold, the people shall rise up as a great lion, and lift up himself as a young lion: he shall not lie down until he eat of the prey, and drink the blood of the slain. 25And Balak said unto Balaam, Neither curse them at all, nor bless them at all. 26But Balaam answered and said unto Balak, Told not I thee, saying, All that the Lord speaketh, that I must do?
27And Balak said unto Balaam, Come, I pray thee, I will bring thee unto another place; peradventure it will please God that thou mayest curse me them from thence. 28And Balak brought Balaam unto the top of Peor, that looketh toward Jeshimon.
Christian Standard Bible

Chapter 23

24A people rise up like a lioness; they rouse themselves like a lion. They will not lie down until they devour the prey and drink the blood of the slain.
25Then Balak told Balaam, "Don’t curse them and don’t bless them!"
26But Balaam answered him, "Didn’t I tell you: Whatever the Lord says, I must do?"
27Again Balak said to Balaam, "Please come. I will take you to another place. Maybe it will be agreeable to God that you can put a curse on them for me there." 28So Balak took Balaam to the top of Peor, which overlooks the wasteland.
New Living Translation

Chapter 23

24These people rise up like a lioness, like a majestic lion rousing itself. They refuse to rest until they have feasted on prey, drinking the blood of the slaughtered!'
25Then Balak said to Balaam, 'Fine, but if you won’t curse them, at least don’t bless them!'
26But Balaam replied to Balak, 'Didn’t I tell you that I can do only what the Lord tells me?'
27Then King Balak said to Balaam, 'Come, I will take you to one more place. Perhaps it will please God to let you curse them from there.'
28So Balak took Balaam to the top of Mount Peor, overlooking the wasteland.
English Standard Version

Chapter 23

24Behold, a people! As a lioness it rises up and as a lion it lifts itself; it does not lie down until it has devoured the prey and drunk the blood of the slain." 25And Balak said to Balaam, "Do not curse them at all, and do not bless them at all." 26But Balaam answered Balak, "Did I not tell you, ‘All that the Lord says, that I must do’?" 27And Balak said to Balaam, "Come now, I will take you to another place. Perhaps it will please God that you may curse them for me from there." 28So Balak took Balaam to the top of Peor, which overlooks the desert.

26Balaam answered, "Did I not tell you I must do whatever the Lord says?"
27Then Balak said to Balaam, "Come, let me take you to another place. Perhaps it will please God to let you curse them for me from there." 28And Balak took Balaam to the top of Peor, overlooking the wasteland.
