Numbers 23:18-20
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
18 Then Balaam[a] uttered his oracle, saying,
“Rise, Balak, and hear;
listen to me, O son of Zippor:
19 God is not a human being, that he should lie,
or a mortal, that he should change his mind.
Has he promised, and will he not do it?
Has he spoken, and will he not fulfill it?(A)
20 See, I received a command to bless;
he has blessed, and I cannot revoke it.(B)
