New American Standard Bible (NASB)
Numbers 23
24 "Behold, a people rises like a lioness, And as a lion it lifts itself; It will not lie down until it devours the prey, And drinks the blood of the slain."
25 Then Balak said to Balaam, "Do not curse them at all nor bless them at all!"
26 But Balaam replied to Balak, "Did I not tell you, ’Whatever the Lord speaks, that I must do’?"
27 Then Balak said to Balaam, "Please come, I will take you to another place; perhaps it will be agreeable with God that you curse them for me from there."
28 So Balak took Balaam to the top of Peor which overlooks the wasteland.
29 Balaam said to Balak, "Build seven altars for me here and prepare seven bulls and seven rams for me here."
30 Balak did just as Balaam had said, and offered up a bull and a ram on each altar.
Numbers 24

2 And Balaam lifted up his eyes and saw Israel camping tribe by tribe; and the Spirit of God came upon him.
3 He took up his discourse and said, "The oracle of Balaam the son of Beor, And the oracle of the man whose eye is opened;
4 The oracle of him who hears the words of God, Who sees the vision of the Almighty, Falling down, yet having his eyes uncovered,
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
