He took up his parable, and said,“ From Aram has Balak brought me, the king of Moab from the mountains of the East. Come, curse Jacob for me. Come, defy Israel.How shall I curse whom God has not cursed? How shall I defy whom Yahweh has not defied?

I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who treats you with contempt. All the families of the earth will be blessed through you.”

As we were going to prayer, a certain girl having a spirit of divination met us, who brought her masters much gain by fortune telling.

Yes, he loved cursing, and it came to him. He didn’t delight in blessing, and it was far from him.He clothed himself also with cursing as with his garment. It came into his inward parts like water, like oil into his bones.

But there was a certain man, Simon by name, who used to practice sorcery in the city and amazed the people of Samaria, making himself out to be some great one,to whom they all listened, from the least to the greatest, saying,“ This man is that great power of God.”

God said to Balaam,“ You shall not go with them. You shall not curse the people, for they are blessed.”

because they didn’t meet you with bread and with water on the way when you came out of Egypt, and because they hired against you Balaam the son of Beor from Pethor of Mesopotamia, to curse you.

Then Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, arose and fought against Israel. He sent and called Balaam the son of Beor to curse you,

Now let the astrologers, the stargazers, and the monthly prognosticators, stand up and save you from the things that will happen to you.

for I will promote you to very great honor, and whatever you say to me I will do. Please come therefore, and curse this people for me.’”

They have seen falsehood and lying divination, who say,‘ Yahweh says;’ but Yahweh has not sent them. They have made men to hope that the word would be confirmed.

The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat,“ There is yet one man by whom we may inquire of Yahweh, Micaiah the son of Imlah; but I hate him, for he does not prophesy good concerning me, but evil.” Jehoshaphat said,“ Don’t let the king say so.”

Then the king of Israel gathered the prophets together, about four hundred men, and said to them,“ Should I go against Ramoth Gilead to battle, or should I refrain?” They said,“ Go up; for the Lord will deliver it into the hand of the king.”

Let peoples serve you, and nations bow down to you. Be lord over your brothers. Let your mother’s sons bow down to you. Cursed be everyone who curses you. Blessed be everyone who blesses you.”

because they didn’t meet the children of Israel with bread and with water, but hired Balaam against them, to curse them; however our God turned the curse into a blessing.

They may curse, but you bless. When they arise, they will be shamed, but your servant shall rejoice.

Like a fluttering sparrow, like a darting swallow, so the undeserved curse doesn’t come to rest.
