Numbers 24:8-14
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 24
8
God brings him out of Egypt,
He is
for him like the horns of the wild ox.
He will devour the nations
who are
his adversaries,
And will crush their bones,
And smash
them
with his arrows.
9
He crouches, he lies down like a lion,
And like a lioness, who dares to rouse him?
Blessed is
everyone
who blesses you,
And cursed is
everyone
who curses you.'
10
Then Balak’s anger burned against Balaam, and he struck his hands together; and Balak said to Balaam, 'I called you to curse my enemies, but behold, you have persisted in blessing them these three times!
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.'
King James Version
Chapter 24
8
God brought him forth out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn: he shall eat up the nations his enemies, and shall break their bones, and pierce them through with his arrows.
9
He couched, he lay down as a lion, and as a great lion: who shall stir him up? Blessed is he that blesseth thee, and cursed is he that curseth thee.
10
And Balak's anger was kindled against Balaam, and he smote his hands together: and Balak said unto Balaam, I called thee to curse mine enemies, and, behold, thou hast altogether blessed them these three times.
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.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 24
8
God brought him out of Egypt;
he is like the horns of a wild ox for them.
He will feed on enemy nations
and gnaw their bones;
he will strike them with his arrows.
9
He crouches, he lies down like a lion
or a lioness—who dares to rouse him?
Those who bless you will be blessed,
and those who curse you will be cursed.
10
Then Balak became furious with Balaam, struck his hands together, and said to him, "I summoned you to put a curse on my enemies, but instead, you have blessed them these three times.
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."
New Living Translation
Chapter 24
8
God brought them out of Egypt;
for them he is as strong as a wild ox.
He devours all the nations that oppose him,
breaking their bones in pieces,
shooting them with arrows.
9
Like a lion, Israel crouches and lies down;
like a lioness, who dares to arouse her?
Blessed is everyone who blesses you, O Israel,
and cursed is everyone who curses you.'
10
King Balak flew into a rage against Balaam. He angrily clapped his hands and shouted, 'I called you to curse my enemies! Instead, you have blessed them three times.
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.'

8
God brings him out of Egypt
and is for him like the horns of the wild ox;
he shall eat up the nations, his adversaries,

9
He crouched, he lay down like a lion

Blessed are those who bless you,
and cursed are those who curse you."
10
And Balak 's anger was kindled against Balaam, and he struck his hands together. And Balak said to Balaam, "I called you to curse my enemies, and behold, you have blessed them these three times.
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."
New International Version
Chapter 24
8
"God brought them out of Egypt;
they have the strength of a wild ox.
They devour hostile nations
and break their bones in pieces;
with their arrows they pierce them.
9
Like a lion they crouch and lie down,
like a lioness—who dares to rouse them? "May those who bless you be blessed
and those who curse you be cursed!"
10
Then Balak’s anger burned against Balaam. He struck his hands together and said to him, "I summoned you to curse my enemies, but you have blessed them these three times.
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."
New King James Version
Chapter 24
8
“God brings him out of Egypt;
He has strength like a wild ox;
He shall consume the nations, his enemies;
He shall break their bones
And pierce
them
with his arrows.
9
‘He bows down, he lies down as a lion;
And as a lion, who shall rouse him?’
“Blessed
is
he who blesses you,
And cursed
is
he who curses you.”
10
Then Balak’s anger was aroused against Balaam, and he struck his hands together; and Balak said to Balaam, “I called you to curse my enemies, and look, you have bountifully blessed
them
these three times!
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.”
