- And the LORD met Balaam, and put a word in his mouth, and said, Go again unto Balak, and say thus.
- And when he came to him, behold, he stood by his burnt offering, and the princes of Moab with him. And Balak said unto him, What hath the LORD spoken?
- And he took up his parable, and said, Rise up, Balak, and hear; hearken unto me, thou son of Zippor:
- God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?
- Behold, I have received commandment to bless: and he hath blessed; and I cannot reverse it.

- The LORD met with Balaam and put a message in his mouth and said, "Go back to Balak and give him this message."
- So he went to him and found him standing beside his offering, with the princes of Moab. Balak asked him, "What did the LORD say?"
- Then he uttered his oracle: "Arise, Balak, and listen; hear me, son of Zippor.
- God is not a man, that he should lie, nor a son of man, that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill?
- I have received a command to bless; he has blessed, and I cannot change it.
