Balaam uttered this prophecy: "Balak king of Moab has brought me From Syria, from the eastern mountains. 'Come speak for me,' he said. 'Put a curse on the people of Israel.'

and Balaam uttered this prophecy: "Come, Balak son of Zippor, And listen to what I have to say.

Who can hear what God is saying. With staring eyes I see in a trance A vision from Almighty God.

Who can hear what God is saying And receive the knowledge that comes from the Most High. With staring eyes I see in a trance A vision from Almighty God.

Then the LORD let Balaam see the angel standing there with his sword; and Balaam threw himself face downward on the ground.
