Numbers 23:22–28

22

God brings them out of Egypt.

He has as it were the strength of the wild ox.

Surely there is no enchantment with Jacob;

neither is there any divination with Israel.

Now it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel,

‘What has God done!’

Behold, a people rises up as a lioness.

As a lion he lifts himself up.

He shall not lie down until he eats of the prey,

and drinks the blood of the slain.”
