Numbers 24:7-9

New International Version

⁷Water will flow from their buckets;
their seed will have abundant water.

“Their king will be greater than Agag;^(A)
their kingdom will be exalted.^(B)

⁸“God brought them out of Egypt;
    they have the strength of a wild ox.
They devour hostile nations
    and break their bones in pieces;^(C)
    with their arrows they pierce them.^(D)
⁹Like a lion they crouch and lie down,
    like a lioness^(E)—who dares to rouse them?

“May those who bless you be blessed^(F)
and those who curse you be cursed!”^(G)
