Context Reading
23Surely there is no enchantment with Jacob;neither is there any divination with Israel.Now it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel,‘What has God done!’ 24Behold, a people rises up as a lioness.As a lion he lifts himself up.He shall not lie down until he eats of the prey,and drinks the blood of the slain.” 25Balak said to Balaam, “Neither curse them at all, nor bless them at all.” 26But Balaam answered Balak, “Didn’t I tell you, saying, ‘All that Yahweh speaks, that I must do’?” 27Balak said to Balaam, “Come now, I will take you to another place; perhaps it will please God that you may curse them for me from there.”
