Then he sent messengers to Balaam the son of Beor at Pethor, which [is] near the River in the land of the sons of his people, to call him, saying: "Look, a people has come from Egypt. See, they cover the face of the earth, and are settling next to me!

"God brings him out of Egypt; He has strength like a wild ox; He shall consume the nations, his enemies; He shall break their bones And pierce [them] with his arrows.

"But indeed for this [purpose] I have raised you up, that I may show My power [in] you, and that My name may be declared in all the earth.

"Then the Egyptians shall know that I [am] the LORD, when I have gained honor for Myself over Pharaoh, his chariots, and his horsemen."

" I [am] the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

O God, [You are] more awesome than Your holy places. The God of Israel [is] He who gives strength and power to [His] people. Blessed [be] God!

His glory [is like] a firstborn bull, And his horns [like] the horns of the wild ox; Together with them He shall push the peoples To the ends of the earth; They [are] the ten thousands of Ephraim, And they [are] the thousands of Manasseh."

Can you bind the wild ox in the furrow with ropes? Or will he plow the valleys behind you?

Will you trust him because his strength [is] great? Or will you leave your labor to him?

Save Me from the lion's mouth And from the horns of the wild oxen! You have answered Me.
