And the servants H5650 of the king H4428 of Syria H758 said H559 to him, Their gods H430 are gods H430 of the hills; H2022 therefore H5921 H3651 they were stronger H2388 than we; but let us fight H3898 against them in the plain, H4334 and surely H518 we shall be stronger H2388 than they.

And there came H5066 a man H376 of God, H430 and spoke H559 to the king H4428 of Israel, H3478 and said, Thus H3541 said H559 the LORD, H3068 Because H3282 H834 the Syrians H758 have said, H559 The LORD H3068 is God H430 of the hills, H2022 but he is not God H430 of the valleys, H6010 therefore will I deliver H5414 all H3605 this H2088 great H1419 multitude into your hand, H3027 and you shall know H3045 that I am the LORD. H3068

O my people, H5971 remember H2142 now H4994 what H4100 Balak H1111 king H4428 of Moab H4124 consulted, H3289 and what H4100 Balaam H1109 the son H1121 of Beor H1160 answered H6030 him from Shittim H7851 to Gilgal; H1537 that you may know H3045 the righteousness H6666 of the LORD. H3068

And it came H1961 to pass on H5921 the morrow, H1242 that Balak H1111 took H3947 Balaam, H1109 and brought H5927 him up into the high H1116 places of Baal, H1168 that there H8033 he might see H7200 the utmost H7097 part of the people. H5971

Then Balak H1111 the son H1121 of Zippor, H6834 king H4428 of Moab, H4124 arose H6965 and warred H3898 against Israel, H3478 and sent H7971 and called H7121 Balaam H1109 the son H1121 of Beor H1160 to curse H7043 you:

As he loved H157 cursing, H7045 so let it come H935 to him: as he delighted H2654 not in blessing, H1293 so let it be far H7368 from him.

Therewith G1722 G846 bless G2127 we God, G2316 even the Father; G3962 and therewith G1722 G846 curse G2672 we men, G444 which G3588 are made G1096 after G2596 the similitude G3669 of God. G2316

Out of the same G846 mouth G4750 proceeds G1831 blessing G2129 and cursing. G2671 My brothers, G80 these G5023 things ought G5534 not so G3779 to be.
