RF NUM 24:1 But Balaam saw that it was good in the eyes of the EVER-LIVING to bless Israel; therefore he went not, as at the other times, to call upon snakes, but turned his face towards the Wilderness,
RF NUM 24:2 and seeing Israel encamped by tribes, and seeing the spirit of the EVER-LIVING above them,
RF NUM 24:3 he began his poem and said;
The prophecy of Balaam.
FIRST STANZA.
"Balaam the son of Beor, says,—
And the man with opened eyes declares,—
RF NUM 24:4 Who heard the speaking GOD dictate,
Who saw the ALMIGHTY Life;
Entranced, but yet with opened eyes
RF NUM 24:5 How lovely, Jacob, are your halls,
What tents are yours, O Israel!
RF NUM 24:6 They wave like rivers!
Like watered gardens,
Like groves the LORD has planted!
Like cedars beside the brooks!
RF NUM 24:7 Dew-drops hang from his leaves;
And his seed has plenty of water,—
His king shall be greater than Agag!
And his dominions exalted.
RF NUM 24:8 SECOND STANZA.
"GOD brought him from Mitzer!
What a mighty bull he is!
He devours opposing nations,
Grinds their bones, and crushes the splinters!
RF NUM 24:9 He shall couch his paws like a lion,—
Like a tiger—who dare arouse him?
Who blesses you, myself will bless,
And I will curse your curser!"
RF NUM 24:10 Balak then became furious with Balaam, and struck his hands together, and Balak exclaimed at Balaam, "I invited you to curse my enemy, and yet you have blessed him these three times!
RF NUM 24:11 So now be off, by yourself, to your own country! I said I would ennoble you;—but, however, the LORD keeps you from honours."
RF NUM 24:12 Balaam, however, replied to Balak, "Did I not also inform the ambassadors whom you sent to me,
RF NUM 24:13 that if Balak should give me his palace full of silver and gold, I should not be able to pass beyond the command of the EVER-LIVING to do good or bad? Whatever the EVER-LIVING commands me, I must speak!
RF NUM 24:14 And as I am going to my country, I will inform you what this people will do to your people hereafter.
RF NUM 24:15 Then he began his poem and said;
The Doom of Moab.
"Balaam the son of Beor says,—
And the man with opened eyes declares,—
RF NUM 24:16 Who heard the speaking GOD, proclaims,
Who knows the intention of the Highest,
Who saw the Almighty in a trance,—
Who fell,—when his eyes were opened!
RF NUM 24:17 I shall see Him,—but not now!
I behold Him, but not near!
He brings a Star from Jacob!
And from Israel wields a Staff,
That breaks the sides of Moab,
And destroys his warlike sons.
RF NUM 24:18 And he will seize upon Edom,
And possess his enemy Seir,—
For Israel forms his Host,
RF NUM 24:19 And Jacob's son comes down,
And cuts off escape from the Fort!"
RF NUM 24:20 Then he turned towards Amalek and continued his poem and said;
The Doom of Amalek
"Amalek was the first of the nations,
But his posterity shall be destroyed."
RF NUM 24:21 Next he looked towards the Keni and continued his poem and said;—
RF NUM 24:22 The Doom of the Keni.
"You place and fix your house in the rock,
Yet the flame shall rage on the wall of your home!"
RF NUM 24:23 And concluding his poem he exclaimed,
"Alas! who can stand against GOD?
RF NUM 24:24 For he strikes with a crushing hand!
Then woe to Ashur, and woe to Heber,—
For they also at last shall fail!"
RF NUM 24:25 Then Balaam arose and went and returned to his own country; and Balak also went away.
