Numbers 23:23-25
Expanded Bible
23 No ·tricks [divination] will work on the people of Jacob,
and no magic will work against Israel.
People now say about ·them [L Jacob],
‘Look what God has done for Israel!’
24 The people rise up like a lioness;
they get up like a lion.
Lions don’t rest until they have eaten prey,
until they have drunk ·their enemies’ blood [L the blood of corpses].”
25 Then Balak said to Balaam, “You haven’t cursed these people, so at least don’t bless them!”

New International Version
23 There is no divination against[a] Jacob,
no evil omens(A) against[b] Israel.
It will now be said of Jacob
and of Israel, ‘See what God has done!’
24 The people rise like a lioness;(B)
they rouse themselves like a lion(C)
that does not rest till it devours its prey
and drinks the blood(D) of its victims.”
25 Then Balak said to Balaam, “Neither curse them at all nor bless them at all!”
