Numbers 23:23-25
Easy-to-Read Version
23 There is no power that can defeat the people of Jacob.
There is no magic that can stop the Israelites.
People will say this about Jacob and the Israelites:
‘Look at the great things God did!’[a]
24 The people are as strong as lions,
and they fight like lions.
And a lion will not rest until it eats what it has caught,
until it drinks the blood of what it has killed.”
25 Then Balak said to Balaam, “You didn’t ask for good things to happen to these people, but you didn’t ask for bad things to happen to them either!”

23 There is no divination against[a] Jacob,
no evil omens(A) against[b] Israel.
It will now be said of Jacob
and of Israel, ‘See what God has done!’
24 The people rise like a lioness;(B)
they rouse themselves like a lion(C)
that does not rest till it devours its prey
and drinks the blood(D) of its victims.”
25 Then Balak said to Balaam, “Neither curse them at all nor bless them at all!”
