Numbers 23:17-19

Easy-to-Read Version

¹⁷So Balaam went to Balak. Balak was still standing near the altar. The leaders of Moab were there with him. Balak saw Balaam coming and said, “What did the Lord say?”

Balaam’s Second Message

¹⁸Then Balaam said this:

“Stand up, Balak, and listen to me.
    Hear me, Balak son of Zippor.
¹⁹God is not a man;
    he will not lie.
God is not a human being;
    his decisions will not change.
If he says he will do something,
    then he will do it.
If he makes a promise,
    then he will do what he promised.
