16. And the LORD met Balaam, and put a word in his mouth, and said,
17. And when he came to him, behold, he stood by his burnt offering, and the leaders of Moab with him. And Balak said unto him, What has the LORD spoken?
18. And he took up his oracle, and said, Rise up, Balak, and hear; hearken unto me, you son of Zippor:
19. God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: has he said, and shall he not do it? or has he spoken, and shall he not make it good?
20. Behold, I have received commandment to bless: and he has blessed; and I cannot reverse it.
21. He has not beheld iniquity in Jacob, neither has he seen perverseness in Israel: the LORD his God is with him, and the shout of a king is among them.
