²⁷ Balak said to Balaam, Come now, I will take you to another place; peradventure it will please God that you may curse me them from there.

¹³ Balak said to him, Please come with me to another place, from whence you may see them; you shall see but the utmost part of them, and shall not see them all: and curse me them from there.

¹⁹ God is not a man, that he should lie, Neither the son of man, that he should repent: Has he said, and will he not do it? Or has he spoken, and will he not make it good?

²⁰ Behold, I have received [commandment] to bless: He has blessed, and I can't reverse it.

¹³ But he stands alone, and who can oppose him? What his soul desires, even that he does.

²¹ There are many plans in a man's heart, But Yahweh's counsel will prevail.

³⁰ There is no wisdom nor understanding Nor counsel against Yahweh.

²⁷ For Yahweh of Hosts has purposed, and who shall annul it? and his hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back?

¹⁰ declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things that are not [yet] done; saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure;

¹¹ calling a ravenous bird from the east, the man of my counsel from a far country; yes, I have spoken, I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed, I will also do it.

⁶ "For I, Yahweh, don't change; therefore you, sons of Jacob, are not consumed.

²⁹ For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.
