Numbers 24:11-16
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 24
11
So flee to your place now. I said I would honor you greatly, but behold, the
Lord
has held you back from honor.'
12
And Balaam said to Balak, 'Did I not in fact tell your messengers whom you had sent to me, saying,
13
‘If Balak were to give me his house full of silver and gold, I could not do
anything
contrary to the command of the
Lord
, either good or bad, of my own accord. What the
Lord
speaks, I will speak’?
14
So now, behold, I am going to my people; come,
and
I will advise you of what this people will do to your people in the days to come.'
15
Then he took up his discourse and said,
'The declaration of Balaam the son of Beor,
And the declaration of the man whose eye is opened,
16
The declaration of him who hears the words of God,
And knows the knowledge of the Most High,
Who sees the vision of the Almighty,
Falling down, yet having his eyes uncovered:
King James Version
Chapter 24
11
Therefore now flee thou to thy place: I thought to promote thee unto great honour; but, lo, the
Lord
hath kept thee back from honour.
12
And Balaam said unto Balak, Spake I not also to thy messengers which thou sentest unto me, saying,
13
If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the commandment of the
Lord
, to do either good or bad of mine own mind; but what the
Lord
saith, that will I speak?
14
And now, behold, I go unto my people: come therefore, and I will advertise thee what this people shall do to thy people in the latter days.
15
And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor hath said, and the man whose eyes are open hath said:
16
He hath said, which heard the words of God, and knew the knowledge of the most High, which saw the vision of the Almighty, falling into a trance, but having his eyes open:
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 24
11
Now go to your home! I said I would reward you richly, but look, the
Lord
has denied you a reward."
12
Balaam answered Balak, "Didn’t I previously tell the messengers you sent me:
13
If Balak were to give me his house full of silver and gold, I could not go against the
Lord
’s command, to do anything good or bad of my own will? I will say whatever the
Lord
says.
14
Now I am going back to my people, but first, let me warn you what these people will do to your people in the future."
15
Then he proclaimed his poem:
The oracle of Balaam son of Beor,
the oracle of the man whose eyes are opened;
16
the oracle of one who hears the sayings of God
and has knowledge from the Most High,
who sees a vision from the Almighty,
who falls into a trance with his eyes uncovered:
New Living Translation
Chapter 24
11
Now get out of here! Go back home! I promised to reward you richly, but the
Lord
has kept you from your reward.'
12
Balaam told Balak, 'Don’t you remember what I told your messengers? I said,
13
‘Even if Balak were to give me his palace filled with silver and gold, I would be powerless to do anything against the will of the
Lord
.’ I told you that I could say only what the
Lord
says!
14
Now I am returning to my own people. But first let me tell you what the Israelites will do to your people in the future.'
15
This is the message Balaam delivered:
'This is the message of Balaam son of Beor,
the message of the man whose eyes see clearly,
16
the message of one who hears the words of God,
who has knowledge from the Most High,
who sees a vision from the Almighty,
who bows down with eyes wide open:
English Standard Version
Chapter 24
11
Therefore now flee to your own place. I said, ‘I will certainly honor you,’ but the
Lord
has held you back from honor."
12
And Balaam said to Balak, "Did I not tell your messengers whom you sent to me,
13
‘If Balak should give me his house full of silver and gold, I would not be able to go beyond the word of the
Lord
, to do either good or bad of my own will. What the
Lord
speaks, that will I speak’?
14
And now, behold, I am going to my people. Come, I will let you know what this people will do to your people in the latter days."
15
And he took up his discourse and said,
"The oracle of Balaam the son of Beor,
the oracle of the man whose eye is opened,
16
the oracle of him who hears the words of God,
and knows the knowledge of the Most High,
who sees the vision of the Almighty,
falling down with his eyes uncovered:
New International Version
Chapter 24
11
Now leave at once and go home! I said I would reward you handsomely, but the
Lord
has kept you from being rewarded."
12
Balaam answered Balak, "Did I not tell the messengers you sent me,
13
‘Even if Balak gave me all the silver and gold in his palace, I could not do anything of my own accord, good or bad, to go beyond the command of the
Lord
—and I must say only what the
Lord
says’?
14
Now I am going back to my people, but come, let me warn you of what this people will do to your people in days to come."
15
Then he spoke his message:
"The prophecy of Balaam son of Beor,
the prophecy of one whose eye sees clearly,
16
the prophecy of one who hears the words of God,
who has knowledge from the Most High,
who sees a vision from the Almighty,
who falls prostrate, and whose eyes are opened:
New King James Version
Chapter 24
11
Now therefore, flee to your place. I said I would greatly honor you, but in fact, the
Lord
has kept you back from honor.”
12
So Balaam said to Balak, “Did I not also speak to your messengers whom you sent to me, saying,
13
‘If Balak were to give me his house full of silver and gold, I could not go beyond the word of the
Lord
, to do good or bad of my own will. What the
Lord
says, that I must speak’?
14
And now, indeed, I am going to my people. Come, I will advise you what this people will do to your people in the latter days.”
15
So he took up his oracle and said:
“The utterance of Balaam the son of Beor,
And the utterance of the man whose eyes are opened;
16
The utterance of him who hears the words of God,
And has the knowledge of the Most High,
Who
sees the vision of the Almighty,
Who
falls down, with eyes wide open:
