- 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.

- Then the LORD met Balaam and put a word in his mouth and said, "Return to Balak, and thus you shall speak."
- He came to him, and behold, he was standing beside his burnt offering, and the leaders of Moab with him. And Balak said to him, "What has the LORD spoken?"
- Then he took up his discourse and said, "Arise, O Balak, and hear; Give ear to me, O son of Zippor!
- "God is not a man, that He should lie, Nor a son of man, that He should repent; Has He said, and will He not do it? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?
- "Behold, I have received a command to bless; When He has blessed, then I cannot revoke it.
