Numbers 23:6-23 And whan he went agayne vnto him, loo, he stode by hys sacrifice, he and all the Lordes of Moab.

Great⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁶ And whan he went agayne vnto him, loo, he stode by hys sacrifice, he and all the Lordes of Moab. ⁷ And he toke vp hys parable and sayde Balac the kynge of Moab hath fett me from Mesopotamia out of the mountaynes of the east (sayinge:) come, curse Iacob for my sake: come, & defye Israel. ⁸ Howe shall I curse him, whom God hath not cursed? or howe shall I defye him, whom God hath not defyed? ⁹ from the toppe of the rockes I se hym, and from the hylles I beholde hym: loo, the people shall dwell by them selfe, and shall not be rekened among the nacyons. ¹⁰ Who can tell the dust of Iacob, and the nombre of the fourth parte of Israel? I praye God, that my soule maye dye the death of the ryghteous, & that my last ende maye be lyke hys. ¹¹ And Balac sayde vnto Balaam: what hast thou done vnto me? I fett the to curse myne enemyes, and beholde, thou hast blessed them. ¹² He answered and sayde: must I not kepe that & speake it, whych the Lorde hath put in my mouthe? ¹³ And Balac sayde vnto hym: Come I praye the with me vnto another place, whence thou mayest se them, and thou shalt se but the vtmost parte of them, and shalt not se them all: curse them out of that place for my sake. ¹⁴ And he brought him into a felde (where men myght se farre of) euen to the toppe of an hyll, and bylt seuen alters, and offered an oxe and a ram on euery alter. ¹⁵ And he sayd vnto Balac: stande here by thy sacrifyce, whyle I go yonder. ¹⁶ And the Lord mett Balaam, and put a worde in hys mouth & sayd: go agayne vnto Balac, and thus saye. ¹⁷ And when he came to hym: beholde, he stode by his sacrifyce, & the Lordes of Moab with hym. And Balac sayde vnto him: what hath the Lorde sayde? ¹⁸ And he toke vp his parable & answered: ryse vp Balac and heare, and herken vnto me thou sonne of Ziphor. ¹⁹ God is not a man that he shulde lye, nether the sonne of a man that he shulde repent: shulde he saye, and not doo? or shulde he speake, and not make it good? ²⁰ beholde, I haue taken vpon me to blesse, for he hath blessed, and it is not in my power to alter it. ²¹ He behelde no vanyte in Iacob, nor sawe trauayll in Israel. The Lorde hys God is wt him, and the presence of the kyng is amonge them. ²² God brought them oute of Egypte, he hath strength as an vnicorne. ²³ There is no sorcery in Iacob, nor sothsaying in Israel. It is nowe tolde vnto Iacob & Israel, what God hath wrought.
