But I would not listen to Balaam, so he blessed you again and again, and I delivered you out of his hand.

But I would not listen to Balaam’s curses. So he blessed you again and again. And I saved you from his power.

but I would not listen to Balaam. Indeed, he blessed you. So I delivered you out of his hand.

but I would not listen to him. Instead, I made Balaam bless you, and so I rescued you from Balak.

but I would not listen to Balaam. Instead, he repeatedly blessed you, and I rescued you from him.

But I was not willing to listen to Balaam. So he had to bless you, and I saved you from his hand.

But I would not listen to Balaam; therefore he continued to bless you. So I delivered you out of his hand.

but I would not hearken unto Balaam; therefore he blessed you still: so I delivered you out of his hand.

but I would not listen to Balaam. Instead, he repeatedly blessed you, and I delivered you from his hand.

But I would not hearken unto Balaam; therefore he blessed you still: so I delivered you out of his hand.

I refused to respond to Balaam; he kept prophesying good things about you, and I rescued you from his power.

No weapon that is formed against you will prevail; and you will condemn every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of Yahweh’s servants, and their righteousness is of me,” says Yahweh.

Balaam answered the servants of Balak,“ If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I can’t go beyond the word of Yahweh my God, to do less or more.Now therefore please stay here tonight as well, that I may know what else Yahweh will speak to me.”God came to Balaam at night, and said to him,“ If the men have come to call you, rise up, go with them; but only the word which I speak to you, that you shall do.”

Nevertheless Yahweh your God wouldn’t listen to Balaam, but Yahweh your God turned the curse into a blessing to you, because Yahweh your God loved you.

‘ Behold, the people that has come out of Egypt covers the surface of the earth. Now, come curse me them. Perhaps I shall be able to fight against them, and shall drive them out.’”God said to Balaam,“ You shall not go with them. You shall not curse the people, for they are blessed.”

How goodly are your tents, Jacob, and your dwellings, Israel!As valleys they are spread out, as gardens by the riverside, as aloes which Yahweh has planted, as cedar trees beside the waters.Water shall flow from his buckets. His seed shall be in many waters. His king shall be higher than Agag. His kingdom shall be exalted.God brings him out of Egypt. He has as it were the strength of the wild ox. He shall consume the nations his adversaries, shall break their bones in pieces, and pierce them with his arrows.He couched, he lay down as a lion, as a lioness; who shall rouse him up? Everyone who blesses you is blessed. Everyone who curses you is cursed.”Balak’s anger burned against Balaam, and he struck his hands together. Balak said to Balaam,“ I called you to curse my enemies, and, behold, you have altogether blessed them these three times.

He said to Balak,“ Stand here by your burnt offering, while I meet God over there.”Yahweh met Balaam, and put a word in his mouth, and said,“ Return to Balak, and say this.”He came to him, and behold, he was standing by his burnt offering, and the princes of Moab with him. Balak said to him,“ What has Yahweh spoken?”He took up his parable, and said,“ Rise up, Balak, and hear! Listen to me, you son of Zippor.God is not a man, that he should lie, nor a son of man, that he should repent. Has he said, and will he not do it? Or has he spoken, and will he not make it good?Behold, I have received a command to bless. He has blessed, and I can’t reverse it.He has not seen iniquity in Jacob. Neither has he seen perverseness in Israel. Yahweh his God is with him. The shout of a king is among them.God brings them out of Egypt. He has as it were the strength of the wild ox.Surely 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!’Behold, 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.”Balak said to Balaam,“ Neither curse them at all, nor bless them at all.”But Balaam answered Balak,“ Didn’t I tell you, saying,‘ All that Yahweh speaks, that I must do?’”

Balaam said to Balak,“ Stand by your burnt offering, and I will go. Perhaps Yahweh will come to meet me. Whatever he shows me I will tell you.” He went to a bare height.God met Balaam, and he said to him,“ I have prepared the seven altars, and I have offered up a bull and a ram on every altar.”Yahweh put a word in Balaam’s mouth, and said,“ Return to Balak, and thus you shall speak.”He returned to him, and behold, he was standing by his burnt offering, he, and all the princes of Moab.He took up his parable, and said,“ From Aram has Balak brought me, the king of Moab from the mountains of the East. Come, curse Jacob for me. Come, defy Israel.How shall I curse whom God has not cursed? How shall I defy whom Yahweh has not defied?For from the top of the rocks I see him. From the hills I see him. Behold, it is a people that dwells alone, and shall not be listed among the nations.Who can count the dust of Jacob, or count the fourth part of Israel? Let me die the death of the righteous! Let my last end be like his!”Balak said to Balaam,“ What have you done to me? I took you to curse my enemies, and behold, you have blessed them altogether.”He answered and said,“ Must I not take heed to speak that which Yahweh puts in my mouth?”

Yahweh’s angel said to Balaam,“ Go with the men; but only the word that I shall speak to you, that you shall speak.” So Balaam went with the princes of Balak.
