New American Standard Bible

Chapter 23

3Then Balaam said to Balak, 'Stand beside your burnt offering, and I will go; perhaps the Lord will come to meet me, and whatever He shows me I will tell you.' So he went to a bare hill.
4Now God met with Balaam, and he said to Him, 'I have set up the seven altars, and I have offered up a bull and a ram on each altar.' 5Then the Lord put a word in Balaam’s mouth and said, 'Return to Balak, and this is what you shall speak.' 6So he returned to him, and behold, he was standing beside his burnt offering, he and all the leaders of Moab.
7And he took up his discourse and said, 'From Aram Balak has brought me, Moab’s king from the mountains of the East, saying, ‘Come, declare Jacob cursed for me, And come, curse Israel!’
King James Version

Chapter 23

3And Balaam said unto Balak, Stand by thy burnt offering, and I will go: peradventure the Lord will come to meet me: and whatsoever he sheweth me I will tell thee. And he went to an high place.
4And God met Balaam: and he said unto him, I have prepared seven altars, and I have offered upon every altar a bullock and a ram. 5And the Lord put a word in Balaam's mouth, and said, Return unto Balak, and thus thou shalt speak.
6And he returned unto him, and, lo, he stood by his burnt sacrifice, he, and all the princes of Moab. 7And he took up his parable, and said, Balak the king of Moab hath brought me from Aram, out of the mountains of the east, saying, Come, curse me Jacob, and come, defy Israel.

Chapter 23

3Balaam said to Balak, "Stay here by your burnt offering while I am gone. Maybe the Lord will meet with me. I will tell you whatever he reveals to me." So he went to a barren hill.
4God met with him and Balaam said to him, "I have arranged seven altars and offered a bull and a ram on each altar." 5Then the Lord put a message in Balaam’s mouth and said, "Return to Balak and say what I tell you."
6So he returned to Balak, who was standing there by his burnt offering with all the officials of Moab.
7Balaam proclaimed his poem: Balak brought me from Aram; the king of Moab, from the eastern mountains: "Come, put a curse on Jacob for me; come, denounce Israel!"
New Living Translation

Chapter 23

3Then Balaam said to Balak, 'Stand here by your burnt offerings, and I will go to see if the Lord will respond to me. Then I will tell you whatever he reveals to me.' So Balaam went alone to the top of a bare hill, 4and God met him there. Balaam said to him, 'I have prepared seven altars and have sacrificed a young bull and a ram on each altar.'
5The Lord gave Balaam a message for King Balak. Then he said, 'Go back to Balak and give him my message.'
6So Balaam returned and found the king standing beside his burnt offerings with all the officials of Moab.
7This was the message Balaam delivered: 'Balak summoned me to come from Aram; the king of Moab brought me from the eastern hills. ‘Come,’ he said, ‘curse Jacob for me! Come and announce Israel’s doom.’
