19. God is not like people. He tells no lies.He is not like humans. He doesn’t change his mind.When he says something, he does it.When he makes a promise, he keeps it.
20. I have received a command to bless.He has blessed, and I can’t change it.
21. He doesn’t want any trouble for the descendants of Jacob.He sees no misfortune for the people of Israel.The Lord their God is with them,praised as their king.
22. The God who brought them out of Egypthas the strength of a wild bull.
23. No spell can curse the descendants of Jacob.No magic can harm the people of Israel.Now it will be said of Jacob and Israel:‘See what God has done!’
24. Here is a nation that attacks like a lionessand is as ferocious as a lion.It doesn’t lie down until it eats its preyand drinks the blood of its victim.”
