* And Balaam said unto Balak , Stand by thy burnt offering , and I will go : peradventure the LORD will come to meet me : and whatsoever he sheweth me I will tell thee . And he went to an high place . * And God met Balaam Bil #am #: and he said unto him , I have prepared seven altars , and I have offered upon every altar a bullock and a ram . * And the LORD put a word in Balaams mouth , and said , Return unto Balak , and thus thou shalt speak . * And he returned unto him , and , lo , he stood by his burnt sacrifice , he , and all the princes of Moab Mow #ab #. * And he took up his parable , and said , Balak the king of Moab hath brought me from Aram , out of the mountains of the east , saying , Come , curse me Jacob Ya #aqob #, and come , defy Israel Yisra #el #. * How shall I curse , whom God hath not cursed ? or how shall I defy , whom the LORD hath not defied ? * For from the top of the rocks I see him , and from the hills I behold him : lo , the people shall dwell alone , and shall not be reckoned among the nations . * Who can count the dust of Jacob Ya #aqob #, and the number of the fourth part of Israel Yisra #el #? Let me die the death of the righteous , and let my last end be like his ! * And Balak said unto Balaam Bil #am #, What hast thou done unto me ? I took thee to curse mine enemies , and , behold , thou hast blessed them altogether . * And he answered and said , Must I not take heed to speak that which the LORD hath put in my mouth ?
