Numbers 23:19 in Context — Numbers 23

17 E veio a ele, e eis que ele estava junto a seu holocausto, e com ele os príncipes de Moabe: e disse-lhe Balaque: Que disse o SENHOR?

18 Então ele tomou sua parábola, e disse: Balaque, levanta-te e ouve; Escuta minhas palavras, filho de Zipor:

19 Deus não é homem, para que minta; nem filho de homem para que se arrependa: ele disse, e não fará?; Falou, e não o executará?

20 Eis que, eu tomei bênção: E ele abençoou, e não poderei revogá-la.

21 Não notou iniquidade em Jacó, nem viu perversidade em Israel: o SENHOR seu Deus é com ele, E júbilo de rei nele.
