17 Il retourna vers lui; et voici, Balak se tenait près de son holocauste, avec les chefs de Moab. Balak lui dit: Qu’est-ce que l’Éternel a dit?
18 Balaam prononça son oracle, et dit: Lève-toi, Balak, écoute! Prête-moi l’oreille, fils de Tsippor!
19 Dieu n’est point un homme pour mentir, Ni fils d’un homme pour se repentir. Ce qu’il a dit, ne le fera-t-il pas? Ce qu’il a déclaré, ne l’exécutera-t-il pas?
20 Voici, j’ai reçu l’ordre de bénir: Il a béni, je ne le révoquerai point.
