(A)He [a]crouches, he lies down like a lion,
And like a lioness, who [b]dares to rouse him?
(B)Blessed is everyone who blesses you,
And cursed is everyone who curses you.”

10 Then Balak’s anger burned against Balaam, and he struck his [c]hands together; and Balak said to Balaam, “I called you to curse my enemies, but behold, you have persisted in blessing them these three times! 11 So [d]flee to your place now. I said I would honor you greatly, but behold, the Lord has held you back from honor.”
