ESV

1	When Balaam saw that it pleased the LORD to bless Israel, he did not go, as at other times, to look for omens, but set his face toward the wilderness.
2	And Balaam lifted up his eyes and saw Israel camping tribe by tribe. And the Spirit of God came upon him,
3	and he took up his discourse and said, “The oracle of Balaam the son of Beor, the oracle of the man whose eye is opened,
4	the oracle of him who hears the words of God, who sees the vision of the Almighty, falling down with his eyes uncovered:
5	How lovely are your tents, O Jacob, your encampments, O Israel!
6	Like palm groves that stretch afar, like gardens beside a river, like aloes that the LORD has planted, like cedar trees beside the waters.
7	Water shall flow from his buckets, and his seed shall be in many waters; his king shall be higher than Agag, and his kingdom shall be exalted.
8	God brings him out of Egypt and is for him like the horns of the wild ox; he shall eat up the nations, his adversaries, and shall break their bones in pieces and pierce them through with his arrows.
9	He crouched, he lay down like a lion and like a lioness; who will rouse him up? Blessed are those who bless you, and cursed are those who curse you.“
10	And Balak's anger was kindled against Balaam, and he struck his hands together. And Balak said to Balaam, “I called you to curse my enemies, and behold, you have blessed them these three times.
11	Therefore now flee to your own place. I said, 'I will certainly honor you,' but the LORD has held you back from honor.“
12	And Balaam said to Balak, “Did I not tell your messengers whom you sent to me,
13	'If Balak should give me his house full of silver and gold, I would not be able to go beyond the word of the LORD, to do either good or bad of my own will. What the LORD speaks, that will I speak'?
14	And now, behold, I am going to my people. Come, I will let you know what this people will do to your people in the latter days.“
15	And he took up his discourse and said, “The oracle of Balaam the son of Beor, the oracle of the man whose eye is opened,
16	the oracle of him who hears the words of God, and knows the knowledge of the Most High, who sees the vision of the Almighty, falling down with his eyes uncovered:
17	I see him, but not now; I behold him, but not near: a star shall come out of Jacob, and a scepter shall rise out of Israel; it shall crush the forehead of Moab and break down all the sons of Sheth.
18	Edom shall be dispossessed; Seir also, his enemies, shall be dispossessed. Israel is doing valiantly.
19	And one from Jacob shall exercise dominion and destroy the survivors of cities!“
20	Then he looked on Amalek and took up his discourse and said, “Amalek was the first among the nations, but its end is utter destruction.”
21	And he looked on the Kenite, and took up his discourse and said, “Enduring is your dwelling place, and your nest is set in the rock.
22	Nevertheless, Kain shall be burned when Asshur takes you away captive.“
23	And he took up his discourse and said, “Alas, who shall live when God does this?
24	But ships shall come from Kittim and shall afflict Asshur and Eber; and he too shall come to utter destruction.“
25	Then Balaam rose and went back to his place. And Balak also went his way.

NIV

1	Now when Balaam saw that it pleased the LORD to bless Israel, he did not resort to sorcery as at other times, but turned his face toward the desert.
2	When Balaam looked out and saw Israel encamped tribe by tribe, the Spirit of God came upon him
3	and he uttered his oracle: “The oracle of Balaam son of Beor, the oracle of one whose eye sees clearly,
4	the oracle of one who hears the words of God, who sees a vision from the Almighty, who falls prostrate, and whose eyes are opened:
5	“How beautiful are your tents, O Jacob, your dwelling places, O Israel!
6	“Like valleys they spread out, like gardens beside a river, like aloes planted by the LORD, like cedars beside the waters.
7	Water will flow from their buckets; their seed will have abundant water. “Their king will be greater than Agag; their kingdom will be exalted.
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; with their arrows they pierce them.
9	Like a lion they crouch and lie down, like a lioness-who dares to rouse them? “May those who bless you be blessed and those who curse you be cursed!”
10	Then Balak's anger burned against Balaam. He struck his hands together and said to him, “I summoned you to curse my enemies, but you have blessed them these three times.
11	Now leave at once and go home! I said I would reward you handsomely, but the LORD has kept you from being rewarded.“
12	Balaam answered Balak, “Did I not tell the messengers you sent me,
13	'Even if Balak gave me his palace filled with silver and gold, I could not do anything of my own accord, good or bad, to go beyond the command of the LORD -and I must say only what the LORD says'?
14	Now I am going back to my people, but come, let me warn you of what this people will do to your people in days to come.“
15	Then he uttered his oracle: “The oracle of Balaam son of Beor, the oracle of one whose eye sees clearly,
16	the oracle of one who hears the words of God, who has knowledge from the Most High, who sees a vision from the Almighty, who falls prostrate, and whose eyes are opened:
17	“I see him, but not now; I behold him, but not near. A star will come out of Jacob; a scepter will rise out of Israel. He will crush the foreheads of Moab, the skulls of all the sons of Sheth.
18	Edom will be conquered; Seir, his enemy, will be conquered, but Israel will grow strong.
19	A ruler will come out of Jacob and destroy the survivors of the city.“
20	Then Balaam saw Amalek and uttered his oracle: “Amalek was first among the nations, but he will come to ruin at last.”
21	Then he saw the Kenites and uttered his oracle: “Your dwelling place is secure, your nest is set in a rock;
22	yet you Kenites will be destroyed when Asshur takes you captive.“
23	Then he uttered his oracle: “Ah, who can live when God does this?
24	Ships will come from the shores of Kittim; they will subdue Asshur and Eber, but they too will come to ruin.“
25	Then Balaam got up and returned home and Balak went his own way.

NLT

1	By now Balaam realized that the LORD was determined to bless Israel, so he did not resort to divination as before. Instead, he turned and looked out toward the wilderness,
2	where he saw the people of Israel camped, tribe by tribe. Then the Spirit of God came upon him,
3	and this is the message he delivered: “This is the message of Balaam son of Beor, the message of the man whose eyes see clearly,
4	the message of one who hears the words of God, who sees a vision from the Almighty, who bows down with eyes wide open:
5	How beautiful are your tents, O Jacob; how lovely are your homes, O Israel!
6	They spread before me like palm groves, like gardens by the riverside. They are like tall trees planted by the LORD, like cedars beside the waters.
7	Water will flow from their buckets; their offspring have all they need. Their king will be greater than Agag; their kingdom will be exalted.
8	God brought them out of Egypt; for them he is as strong as a wild ox. He devours all the nations that oppose him, breaking their bones in pieces, shooting them with arrows.
9	Like a lion, Israel crouches and lies down; like a lioness, who dares to arouse her? Blessed is everyone who blesses you, O Israel, and cursed is everyone who curses you.“
10	King Balak flew into a rage against Balaam. He angrily clapped his hands and shouted, “I called you to curse my enemies! Instead, you have blessed them three times.
11	Now get out of here! Go back home! I promised to reward you richly, but the LORD has kept you from your reward.“
12	Balaam told Balak, “Don't you remember what I told your messengers? I said,
13	'Even if Balak were to give me his palace filled with silver and gold, I would be powerless to do anything against the will of the LORD.' I told you that I could say only what the LORD says!
14	Now I am returning to my own people. But first let me tell you what the Israelites will do to your people in the future.“
15	This is the message Balaam delivered: “This is the message of Balaam son of Beor, the message of the man whose eyes see clearly,
16	the message of one who hears the words of God, who has knowledge from the Most High, who sees a vision from the Almighty, who bows down with eyes wide open:
17	I see him, but not here and now. I perceive him, but far in the distant future. A star will rise from Jacob; a scepter will emerge from Israel. It will crush the foreheads of Moab's people, cracking the skulls of the people of Sheth.
18	Edom will be taken over, and Seir, its enemy, will be conquered, while Israel marches on in triumph.
19	A ruler will rise in Jacob who will destroy the survivors of Ir.“
20	Then Balaam looked over toward the people of Amalek and delivered this message: “Amalek was the greatest of nations, but its destiny is destruction!”
21	Then he looked over toward the Kenites and delivered this message: “Your home is secure; your nest is set in the rocks.
22	But the Kenites will be destroyed when Assyria takes you captive.“
23	Balaam concluded his messages by saying: “Alas, who can survive unless God has willed it?
24	Ships will come from the coasts of Cyprus; they will oppress Assyria and afflict Eber, but they, too, will be utterly destroyed.“
25	Then Balaam and Balak returned to their homes.

KJV

1	And when Balaam saw that it pleased the LORD to bless Israel, he went not, as at other times, to seek for enchantments, but he set his face toward the wilderness.
2	And Balaam lifted up his eyes, and he saw Israel abiding in his tents according to their tribes; and the spirit of God came upon him.
3	And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor hath said, and the man whose eyes are open hath said:
4	He hath said, which heard the words of God, which saw the vision of the Almighty, falling into a trance, but having his eyes open:
5	How goodly are thy tents, O Jacob, and thy tabernacles, O Israel!
6	As the valleys are they spread forth, as gardens by the river's side, as the trees of lign aloes which the LORD hath planted, and as cedar trees beside the waters.
7	He shall pour the water out of his buckets, and his seed shall be in many waters, and his king shall be higher than Agag, and his kingdom shall be exalted.
8	God brought him forth out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn: he shall eat up the nations his enemies, and shall break their bones, and pierce them through with his arrows.
9	He couched, he lay down as a lion, and as a great lion: who shall stir him up? Blessed is he that blesseth thee, and cursed is he that curseth thee.
10	And Balak's anger was kindled against Balaam, and he smote his hands together: and Balak said unto Balaam, I called thee to curse mine enemies, and, behold, thou hast altogether blessed them these three times.
11	Therefore now flee thou to thy place: I thought to promote thee unto great honour; but, lo, the LORD hath kept thee back from honour.
12	And Balaam said unto Balak, Spake I not also to thy messengers which thou sentest unto me, saying,
13	If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the commandment of the LORD, to do either good or bad of mine own mind; but what the LORD saith, that will I speak?
14	And now, behold, I go unto my people: come therefore, and I will advertise thee what this people shall do to thy people in the latter days.
15	And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor hath said, and the man whose eyes are open hath said:
16	He hath said, which heard the words of God, and knew the knowledge of the most High, which saw the vision of the Almighty, falling into a trance, but having his eyes open:
17	I shall see him, but not now: I shall behold him, but not nigh: there shall come a Star out of Jacob, and a Sceptre shall rise out of Israel, and shall smite the corners of Moab, and destroy all the children of Sheth.
18	And Edom shall be a possession, Seir also shall be a possession for his enemies; and Israel shall do valiantly.
19	Out of Jacob shall come he that shall have dominion, and shall destroy him that remaineth of the city.
20	And when he looked on Amalek, he took up his parable, and said, Amalek was the first of the nations; but his latter end shall be that he perish for ever.
21	And he looked on the Kenites, and took up his parable, and said, Strong is thy dwellingplace, and thou puttest thy nest in a rock.
22	Nevertheless the Kenite shall be wasted, until Asshur shall carry thee away captive.
23	And he took up his parable, and said, Alas, who shall live when God doeth this!
24	And ships shall come from the coast of Chittim, and shall afflict Asshur, and shall afflict Eber, and he also shall perish for ever.
25	And Balaam rose up, and went and returned to his place: and Balak also went his way.
