New International Version Anglicized

Numbers 24:4-9 New International Version Anglicized (NIVUK)

4. the prophecy 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, Jacob,your dwelling-places, 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 nationsand 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 blessedand those who curse you be cursed!’
