Numbers 23:18-20

Christian Standard Bible

¹⁸Balaam proclaimed his poem:

Balak, get up and listen;
son of Zippor, pay attention to what I say!
¹⁹God is not a man, that he might lie,
or a son of man, that he might change his mind.^(A)
Does he speak and not act,
or promise and not fulfill?^(B)
²⁰I have indeed received a command to bless;
since he has blessed,^[a] I cannot change it.
