Numbers 24:11 in Context — Numbers 24

9 Se encurvará para deitar-se como leão, E como leoa; quem o despertará? Benditos os que te abençoarem, E malditos os que te amaldiçoarem.

10 Então se acendeu a ira de Balaque contra Balaão, e batendo suas palmas lhe disse: Para amaldiçoar a meus inimigos te chamei, e eis que os abençoaste insistentemente já três vezes.

11 Foge-te, portanto, agora a teu lugar: eu disse que te honraria, mas eis que o SENHOR te privou de honra.

12 E Balaão lhe respondeu: Não o declarei eu também a teus mensageiros que me enviaste, dizendo:
