Numbers 23:19-20

Balaam's Second Oracle

19 c God is not man, that he should lie,
or a son of man, that he should change his mind.
Has he said, and will he not do it?
Or has he spoken, and will he not fulfill it?
20 Behold, I received a command to bless:
d he has blessed, and e I cannot revoke it.
