然而耶和華－你的神不肯聽從巴蘭，卻使那咒詛的言語變為祝福的話，因為耶和華－你的神愛你。 (cunpt)

我的百姓啊，你們當追念摩押王巴勒所設的謀和比珥的兒子巴蘭回答他的話，並你們從什亭到吉甲所遇見的事，好使你們知道耶和華公義的作為。 (cunpt)

王要回答說：『我實在告訴你們，這些事你們既做在我這弟兄中一個最小的身上，就是做在我身上了。』 (cunpt)

任憑他們咒罵，惟願你賜福；他們幾時起來就必蒙羞，你的僕人卻要歡喜。 (cunpt)

那時，摩押王西撥的兒子巴勒起來攻擊以色列人，打發人召了比珥的兒子巴蘭來咒詛你們。我不肯聽巴蘭的話，所以他倒為你們連連祝福。這樣，我便救你們脫離巴勒的手。 (cunpt)

巴蘭就題詩歌說：巴勒，你起來聽；西撥的兒子，你聽我言。 (cunpt)

摩押人因以色列民甚多，就大大懼怕，心內憂急，對米甸的長老說：「現在這眾人要把我們四圍所有的一概餂盡，就如牛餂盡田間的草一般。」那時西撥的兒子巴勒作摩押王。他差遣使者往大河邊的毗奪去，到比珥的兒子巴蘭本鄉那裏，召巴蘭來，說：「有一宗民從埃及出來，遮滿地面，與我對居。這民比我強盛，現在求你來為我咒詛他們，或者我能得勝，攻打他們，趕出此地。因為我知道，你為誰祝福，誰就得福；你咒詛誰，誰就受咒詛。」摩押的長老和米甸的長老手裏拿着卦金，到了巴蘭那裏，將巴勒的話都告訴了他。巴蘭說：「你們今夜在這裏住宿，我必照耶和華所曉諭我的回報你們。」摩押的使臣就在巴蘭那裏住下了。神臨到巴蘭那裏，說：「在你這裏的人都是誰？」巴蘭回答說：「是摩押王西撥的兒子巴勒打發人到我這裏來，說：『從埃及出來的民遮滿地面，你來為我咒詛他們，或者我能與他們爭戰，把他們趕出去。』」 (cunpt)

雅各啊，你的帳棚何等華美！以色列啊，你的帳幕何其華麗！如接連的山谷，如河旁的園子，如耶和華所栽的沉香樹，如水邊的香柏木。水要從他的桶裏流出；種子要撒在多水之處。他的王必超過亞甲；他的國必要振興。神領他出埃及；他似乎有野牛之力。他要吞吃敵國，折斷他們的骨頭，用箭射透他們。他蹲如公獅，臥如母獅，誰敢惹他？凡給你祝福的，願他蒙福；凡咒詛你的，願他受咒詛。巴勒向巴蘭生氣，就拍起手來，對巴蘭說：「我召你來為我咒詛仇敵，不料，你這三次竟為他們祝福。 (cunpt)

神沒有咒詛的，我焉能咒詛？耶和華沒有怒罵的，我焉能怒罵？我從高峯看他，從小山望他；這是獨居的民，不列在萬民中。誰能數點雅各的塵土？誰能計算以色列的四分之一？我願如義人之死而死；我願如義人之終而終。巴勒對巴蘭說：「你向我做的是甚麼事呢？我領你來咒詛我的仇敵，不料，你竟為他們祝福。」 (cunpt)
