Numbers 23:23-27

“For there is no magic curse against Jacob, Nor is there any divination against Israel; At the proper time it shall be said to Jacob And to Israel, what God has done!

“Behold, 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.”

Then Balak said to Balaam, “Do not curse them at all nor bless them at all!”

But Balaam replied to Balak, “Did I not tell you, ‘Whatever the Lord speaks, I must do’?”

Then 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.”
