Then Balak said to Balaam,“ Come. Let me take you to another place. Perhaps God will be pleased to let you put a curse on the Israelites for me from there.”

巴勒对巴兰说：“来吧，我领你往别处去，或者神喜欢你在那里为我咒诅他们。”

巴勒对巴兰说：“来，我领你到别的地方，或许上帝喜欢你在那里为我诅咒他们。”

巴勒对巴兰说：“来，我领你到别的地方，或许神喜欢你在那里为我诅咒他们。”

巴勒说：“来吧，我带你去另一个地方，也许上帝会同意你在那里为我咒诅他们。”

巴勒对巴兰说：“你来，我领你到另一个地方去，或者神喜欢你，你就可以在那里为我咒诅他们。”

巴勒對巴蘭說：「來吧，我領你往別處去，或者神喜歡你在那裏為我咒詛他們。」

巴勒對巴蘭說：「來，我領你到別的地方，或許上帝喜歡你在那裏為我詛咒他們。」

巴勒對巴蘭說：「來，我領你到別的地方，或許神喜歡你在那裏為我詛咒他們。」

巴勒說：「來吧，我帶你去另一個地方，也許上帝會同意你在那裡為我咒詛他們。」

巴勒對巴蘭說：“你來，我領你到另一個地方去，或者神喜歡你，你就可以在那裡為我咒詛他們。”

巴勒對巴蘭說：『來吧，我領你到別處去，或者上帝喜歡你從那裏為我咒詛他們。』

巴勒曰、爾來、我將引爾之他、庶幾上帝使爾於彼、為我詛之、

巴勒曰、爾來、我引爾至他所、庶幾上帝使爾於彼、咒詛其族。

巴勒謂巴蘭曰、求爾來、我導爾至他處、或者天主許爾於彼、為我咒詛斯民、

Then Balak said to Balaam,“ Come, let me take you to another place. Perhaps it will please God to let you curse them for me from there.”

And Balak said to Balaam,“ Come now, I will take you to another place. Perhaps it will please God that you may curse them for me from there.”

Then King Balak said to Balaam,“ Come, I will take you to one more place. Perhaps it will please God to let you curse them from there.”

Again Balak said to Balaam,“ Please come. I will take you to another place. Maybe it will be agreeable to God that you can put a curse on them for me there.”

Then Balak said to Balaam,“ Please come, I will take you to another place; perhaps it will be agreeable with God that you curse them for me from there.”

Then Balak said to Balaam,“ Please come, I will take you to another place; perhaps it will please God that you may curse them for me from there.”

And Balak said unto Balaam, Come now, I will take thee unto another place; peradventure it will please God that thou mayest curse me them from thence.

Again Balak said to Balaam,“ Please come. I will take you to another place. Maybe it will be agreeable to God that you can put a curse on them for me there.”

And Balak said unto Balaam, Come, I pray thee, I will bring thee unto another place; peradventure it will please God that thou mayest curse me them from thence.

Balak said to Balaam,“ Come, please; I will take you to another place. Perhaps it will please God to let you curse them for me from there.”

Balak said to Balaam,“ Come now, I will take you to another place; perhaps it will please God that you may curse them for me from there.”

God does not take back his gifts. He does not change his mind about those he has chosen.

Before something even happens, I announce how it will end. In fact, from times long ago I announced what was still to come. I say,‘ My plan will succeed. I will do anything I want to do.’I will send for a man from the east to carry out my plan. From a land far away, he will come like a bird that kills its food. I will bring about what I have said. I will do what I have planned.

Then Balak said to Balaam,“ Come with me to another place. You can see the Israelites from there. You won’t see all of them. You will only see the outer edges of their camp. From there, put a curse on them for me.”

God isn’t a mere human. He can’t lie. He isn’t a human being. He doesn’t change his mind. He speaks, and then he acts. He makes a promise, and then he keeps it.He has commanded me to bless Israel. He has given them his blessing. And I can’t change it.

“ But he’s the only God. Who can oppose him? He does anything he wants to do.

“ I am the Lord. I do not change. That is why I have not destroyed you members of Jacob’s family.

A person may have many plans in their heart. But the Lord’ s purpose wins out in the end.

The Lord who rules over all has planned it. Who can stop him? He has reached out his powerful hand. Who can keep him from using it?

No wisdom, wise saying or plan can succeed against the Lord.
