Isaiah 54:17
No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of Jehovah, and their righteousness which is of me, saith Jehovah.

Numbers 22:18-20
And Balaam answered and said unto the servants of Balak, If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the word of Jehovah my God, to do less or more.Now therefore, I pray you, tarry ye also here this night, that I may know what Jehovah will speak unto me more.And God came unto Balaam at night, and said unto him, If the men are come to call thee, rise up, go with them; but only the word which I speak unto thee, that shalt thou do.

Deuteronomy 23:5
Nevertheless Jehovah thy God would not hearken unto Balaam; but Jehovah thy God turned the curse into a blessing unto thee, because Jehovah thy God loved thee.

Numbers 22:11-12
Behold, the people that is come out of Egypt, it covereth the face of the earth: now, come curse me them; peradventure I shall be able to fight against them, and shall drive them out.And God said unto Balaam, Thou shalt not go with them; thou shalt not curse the people; for they are blessed.

Numbers 24:5-10
How goodly are thy tents, O Jacob, Thy tabernacles, O Israel!As valleys are they spread forth, As gardens by the river- side, As lign- aloes which Jehovah hath planted, As cedar- trees beside the waters.Water shall flow from his buckets, And his seed shall be in many waters, And his king shall be higher than Agag, And his kingdom shall be exalted.God bringeth him forth out of Egypt; He hath as it were the strength of the wild- ox: He shall eat up the nations his adversaries, And shall break their bones in pieces, And smite them through with his arrows.He couched, he lay down as a lion, And as a lioness; who shall rouse him up? Blessed be every one that blesseth thee, And cursed be every one that curseth thee.And Balak’s anger was kindled against Balaam, and he smote his hands together; and Balak said unto Balaam, I called thee to curse mine enemies, and, behold, thou hast altogether blessed them these three times.

Numbers 23:15-26
And he said unto Balak, Stand here by thy burnt- offering, while I meet Jehovah yonder.And Jehovah met Balaam, and put a word in his mouth, and said, Return unto Balak, and thus shalt thou speak.And he came to him, and, lo, he was standing by his burnt- offering, and the princes of Moab with him. And Balak said unto him, What hath Jehovah spoken?And he took up his parable, and said, Rise up, Balak, and hear; Hearken unto me, thou son of Zippor:God is not a man, that he should lie, Neither the son of man, that he should repent: Hath he said, and will he not do it? Or hath he spoken, and will he not make it good?Behold, I have received commandment to bless: And he hath blessed, and I cannot reverse it.He hath not beheld iniquity in Jacob; Neither hath he seen perverseness in Israel: Jehovah his God is with him, And the shout of a king is among them.God bringeth them forth out of Egypt; He hath as it were the strength of the wild- ox.Surely there is no enchantment with Jacob; Neither is there any divination with Israel: Now shalt it be said of Jacob and of Israel, What hath God wrought!Behold, the people riseth up as a lioness, And as a lion doth he lift himself up: He shall not lie down until he eat of the prey, And drink the blood of the slain.And Balak said unto Balaam, Neither curse them at all, nor bless them at all.But Balaam answered and said unto Balak, Told not I thee, saying, All that Jehovah speaketh, that I must do?

Numbers 23:3-12
And Balaam said unto Balak, Stand by thy burnt- offering, and I will go: peradventure Jehovah will come to meet me; and whatsoever he showeth me I will tell thee. And he went to a bare height.And God met Balaam: and he said unto him, I have prepared the seven altars, and I have offered up a bullock and a ram on every altar.And Jehovah put a word in Balaam’s mouth, and said, Return unto Balak, and thus thou shalt speak.And he returned unto him, and, lo, he was standing by his burnt- offering, he, and all the princes of Moab.And he took up his parable, and said, From Aram hath Balak brought me, The king of Moab from the mountains of the East: Come, curse me Jacob, And come, defy Israel.How shall I curse, whom God hath not cursed? And how shall I defy, whom Jehovah hath not defied?For from the top of the rocks I see him, And from the hills I behold him: Lo, it is a people that dwelleth alone, And shall not be reckoned among the nations.Who can count the dust of Jacob, Or number the fourth part of Israel? Let me die the death of the righteous, And let my last end be like his!And Balak said unto Balaam, What hast thou done unto me? I took thee to curse mine enemies, and, behold, thou hast blessed them altogether.And he answered and said, Must I not take heed to speak that which Jehovah putteth in my mouth?

Numbers 22:35
And the angel of Jehovah said unto Balaam, Go with the men; but only the word that I shall speak unto thee, that thou shalt speak. So Balaam went with the princes of Balak.
