Numbers 23:19–21

19 God is not a man, that he might lie,

or a son of man, that he might change his mind.i

Does he speak and not act,

or promise and not fulfill?j

20 I have indeed received a command to bless;

since he has blessed,B I cannot change it.

21 He considers no disaster for Jacob;

he sees no trouble for Israel.C

The Lord their God is with them,k

and there is rejoicing over the King among them.
