Balaam Prophesies Again

23 Surely, there is no enchantment against Jacob, Nor divination against Israel, - Now, shall it be said - Of Jacob and of Israel, What hath GOD wrought! 24 Lo, a people, like a lioness, shall rise, And like a strong lion, shall rouse himself up; He will not lie down till be eat the torn, And the blood of the slain, he drink. 25 Then said Balak unto Balaam, Thou shalt neither revile, him, - nor bless him.
