22It is God who has taken them out of Egypt; his horns are like those of the mountain ox.
23No evil power has effect against Jacob, no secret arts against Israel; at the right time it will be said of Jacob and of Israel, See what God has done!
24See, Israel comes up like a she-lion, lifting himself up like a lion: he will take no rest till he has made a meal of those he has overcome, drinking the blood of those he has put to death.
25Then Balak said to Balaam, If you will not put a curse on them, at all events do not give them a blessing.
26But Balaam in answer said to Balak, Did I not say to you, I may only do what the Lord says?
27Then Balak said to Balaam, Come now, I will take you to another place; it may be that God will let you put a curse on them from there.
28So Balak took Balaam to the top of Peor, looking down over the waste land.
