Numbers 23:20 in Context — Numbers 23

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.

21 Il n’aperçoit point d’iniquité en Jacob, Il ne voit point d’injustice en Israël; L’Éternel, son Dieu, est avec lui, Il est son roi, l’objet de son allégresse.

22 Dieu les a fait sortir d’Égypte, Il est pour eux comme la vigueur du buffle.
