Jer 48:1-9 : 1 Against Moab{H4124} thus saith{H559}{(H8804)} the LORD{H3068} of hosts{H6635}, the God{H430} of Israel{H3478}; Woe{H1945} unto Nebo{H5015}! for it is spoiled{H7703}{(H8795)}: Kiriathaim{H7156} is confounded{H3001}{(H8689)} and taken{H3920}{(H8738)}: Misgab{H4869} is confounded{H3001}{(H8689)} and dismayed{H2865}{(H8804)}. 2 There shall be no more praise{H8416} of Moab{H4124}: in Heshbon{H2809} they have devised{H2803}{(H8804)} evil{H7451} against it; come{H3212}{(H8798)}, and let us cut it off{H3772}{(H8686)} from being a nation{H1471}. Also thou shalt be cut down{H1826}{(H8735)}, O Madmen{H4086}; the sword{H2719} shall pursue{H3212}{(H8799)} thee{H310}. 3 A voice{H6963} of crying{H6818} shall be from Horonaim{H2773}, spoiling{H7701} and great{H1419} destruction{H7667}. 4 Moab{H4124} is destroyed{H7665}{(H8738)}; her little ones{H6810} have caused a cry{H2201} to be heard{H8085}{(H8689)}. 5 For in the going up{H4608} of Luhith{H3872} continual{H1065} weeping{H1065} shall go up{H5927}{(H8799)}; for in the going down{H4174} of Horonaim{H2773} the enemies{H6862} have heard{H8085}{(H8804)} a cry{H6818} of destruction{H7667}. 6 Flee{H5127}{(H8798)}, save{H4422}{(H8761)} your lives{H5315}, and be{H1961}{(H8799)} like the heath{H6176} in the wilderness{H4057}. 7 For because thou hast trusted{H982}{(H8800)} in thy works{H4639} and in thy treasures{H214}, thou shalt also be taken{H3920}{(H8735)}: and Chemosh{H3645} shall go forth{H3318}{(H8804)} into captivity{H1473} with his priests{H3548} and his princes{H8269} together{H3162}. 8 And the spoiler{H7703}{(H8802)} shall come{H935}{(H8799)} upon every city{H5892}, and no city{H5892} shall escape{H4422}{(H8735)}: the valley{H6010} also shall perish{H6}{(H8804)}, and the plain{H4334} shall be destroyed{H8045}{(H8738)}, as the LORD{H3068} hath spoken{H559}{(H8804)}. 9 Give{H5414}{(H8798)} wings{H6731} unto Moab{H4124}, that it may flee{H5323}{(H8800)} and get away{H3318}{(H8799)}: for the cities{H5892} thereof shall be desolate{H8047}, without any to dwell{H3427}{(H8802)} therein{H2004}. 10 Cursed{H779}{(H8803)} be he that doeth{H6213}{(H8802)} the work{H4399} of the LORD{H3068} deceitfully{H7423}, and cursed{H779}{(H8803)} be he that keepeth back{H4513}{(H8802)} his sword{H2719} from blood{H1818}. 11 Moab{H4124} hath been at ease{H7599}{(H8768)} from his youth{H5271}, and he hath settled{H8252}{(H8802)} on his lees{H8105}, and hath not been emptied{H7324}{(H8717)} from vessel{H3627} to vessel{H3627}, neither hath he gone{H1980}{(H8804)} into captivity{H1473}: therefore his taste{H2940} remained{H5975}{(H8804)} in him, and his scent{H7381} is not changed{H4171}{(H8738)}. 12 Therefore, behold, the days{H3117} come{H935}{(H8802)}, saith{H5002}{(H8803)} the LORD{H3068}, that I will send{H7971}{(H8765)} unto him wanderers{H6808}{(H8802)}, that shall cause him to wander{H6808}{(H8765)}, and shall empty{H7324}{(H8686)} his vessels{H3627}, and break{H5310}{(H8762)} their bottles{H5035}. 13 And Moab{H4124} shall be ashamed{H954}{(H8804)} of Chemosh{H3645}, as the house{H1004} of Israel{H3478} was ashamed{H954}{(H8804)} of Bethel{H1008} their confidence{H4009}. 14 How say{H559}{(H8799)} ye, We are mighty{H1368} and strong{H2428} men{H582} for the war{H4421}? 15 Moab{H4124} is spoiled{H7703}{(H8795)}, and gone up{H5927}{(H8804)} out of her cities{H5892}, and his chosen{H4005} young men{H970} are gone down{H3381}{(H8804)} to the slaughter{H2874}, saith{H5002}{(H8803)} the King{H4428}, whose name{H8034} is the LORD{H3068} of hosts{H6635}. 16 The calamity{H343} of Moab{H4124} is near{H7138} to come{H935}{(H8800)}, and his affliction{H7451} hasteth{H4116}{(H8765)} fast{H3966}. 17 All ye that are about{H5439} him, bemoan{H5110}{(H8798)} him; and all ye that know{H3045}{(H8802)} his name{H8034}, say{H559}{(H8798)}, How is the strong{H5797} staff{H4294} broken{H7665}{(H8738)}, and the beautiful{H8597} rod{H4731}! 18 Thou daughter{H1323} that dost inhabit{H3427}{(H8802)} Dibon{H1769}, come down{H3381}{(H8798)} from thy glory{H3519}, and sit{H3427}{(H8798)} in thirst{H6772}; for the spoiler{H7703}{(H8802)} of Moab{H4124} shall come{H5927}{(H8804)} upon thee, and he shall destroy{H7843}{(H8765)} thy strong holds{H4013}. 19 O inhabitant{H3427}{(H8802)} of Aroer{H6177}, stand{H5975}{(H8798)} by the way{H1870}, and espy{H6822}{(H8761)}; ask{H7592}{(H8798)} him that fleeth{H5127}{(H8801)}, and her that escapeth{H4422}{(H8737)}, and say{H559}{(H8798)}, What is done{H1961}{(H8738)}? 20 Moab{H4124} is confounded{H3001}{(H8689)}; for it is broken down{H2865}{(H8804)}: howl{H3213}{(H8685)} and cry{H2199}{(H8798)}; tell{H5046}{(H8685)} ye it in Arnon{H769}, that Moab{H4124} is spoiled{H7703}{(H8795)}, 21 And judgment{H4941} is come{H935}{(H8804)} upon the plain{H4334} country{H776}; upon Holon{H2473}, and upon Jahazah{H3096}, and upon Mephaath{H4158}, 22 And upon Dibon{H1769}, and upon Nebo{H5015}, and upon Bethdiblathaim{H1015}, 23 And upon Kiriathaim{H7156}, and upon Bethgamul{H1014}, and upon Bethmeon{H1010}, 24 And upon Kerioth{H7152}, and upon Bozrah{H1224}, and upon all the cities{H5892} of the land{H776} of Moab{H4124}, far{H7350} or near{H7138}. 25 The horn{H7161} of Moab{H4124} is cut off{H1438}{(H8738)}, and his arm{H2220} is broken{H7665}{(H8738)}, saith{H5002}{(H8803)} the LORD{H3068}. 26 Make ye him drunken{H7937}{(H8685)}: for he magnified{H1431}{(H8689)} himself against the LORD{H3068}: Moab{H4124} also shall wallow{H5606}{(H8804)} in his vomit{H6892}, and he also shall be in derision{H7814}. 27 For was not Israel{H3478} a derision{H7814} unto thee? was he found{H4672}{(H8738)} among thieves{H1590}? for since{H1767} thou spakest{H1697} of him, thou skippedst{H5110}{(H8709)} for joy. 28 O ye that dwell{H3427}{(H8802)} in Moab{H4124}, leave{H5800}{(H8798)} the cities{H5892}, and dwell{H7931}{(H8798)} in the rock{H5553}, and be like the dove{H3123} that maketh her nest{H7077}{(H8762)} in the sides{H5676} of the hole's{H6354} mouth{H6310}. 29 We have heard{H8085}{(H8804)} the pride{H1347} of Moab{H4124},(he{H1931} is exceeding{H3966} proud{H1343}) his loftiness{H1363}, and his arrogancy{H1346}, and his pride{H1347}, and the haughtiness{H7312} of his heart{H3820}. 30 I know{H3045}{(H8804)} his wrath{H5678}, saith{H5002}{(H8803)} the LORD{H3068}; but it shall not be so; his lies{H907} shall not so effect{H6213}{(H8804)} it. 31 Therefore will I howl{H3213}{(H8686)} for Moab{H4124}, and I will cry out{H2199}{(H8799)} for all Moab{H4124}; mine heart shall mourn{H1897}{(H8799)} for the men{H582} of Kirheres{H7025}. 32 O vine{H1612} of Sibmah{H7643}, I will weep{H1058}{(H8799)} for thee with the weeping{H1065} of Jazer{H3270}: thy plants{H5189} are gone over{H5674}{(H8804)} the sea{H3220}, they reach{H5060}{(H8804)} even to the sea{H3220} of Jazer{H3270}: the spoiler{H7703}{(H8802)} is fallen{H5307}{(H8804)} upon thy summer fruits{H7019} and upon thy vintage{H1210}. 33 And joy{H8057} and gladness{H1524} is taken{H622}{(H8738)} from the plentiful field{H3759}, and from the land{H776} of Moab{H4124}; and I have caused wine{H3196} to fail{H7673}{(H8689)} from the winepresses{H3342}: none shall tread{H1869}{(H8799)} with shouting{H1959}; their shouting{H1959} shall be no shouting{H1959}. 34 From the cry{H2201} of Heshbon{H2809} even unto Elealeh{H500}, and even unto Jahaz{H3096}, have they uttered{H5414}{(H8804)} their voice{H6963}, from Zoar{H6820} even unto Horonaim{H2773}, as an heifer{H5697} of three years old{H7992}: for the waters{H4325} also of Nimrim{H5249} shall be desolate{H4923}. 35 Moreover I will cause to cease{H7673}{(H8689)} in Moab{H4124}, saith{H5002}{(H8803)} the LORD{H3068}, him that offereth{H5927}{(H8688)} in the high places{H1116}, and him that burneth incense{H6999}{(H8688)} to his gods{H430}. 36 Therefore mine heart{H3820} shall sound{H1993}{(H8799)} for Moab{H4124} like pipes{H2485}, and mine heart{H3820} shall sound{H1993}{(H8799)} like pipes{H2485} for the men{H582} of Kirheres{H7025}: because the riches{H3502} that he hath gotten{H6213}{(H8804)} are perished{H6}{(H8804)}. 37 For every head{H7218} shall be bald{H7144}, and every beard{H2206} clipped{H1639}{(H8803)}: upon all the hands{H3027} shall be cuttings{H1417}, and upon the loins{H4975} sackcloth{H8242}. 38 There shall be lamentation{H4553} generally upon all the housetops{H1406} of Moab{H4124}, and in the streets{H7339} thereof: for I have broken{H7665}{(H8804)} Moab{H4124} like a vessel{H3627} wherein is no pleasure{H2656}, saith{H5002}{(H8803)} the LORD{H3068}. 39 They shall howl{H3213}{(H8685)}, saying, How is it broken down{H2865}{(H8804)}! how hath Moab{H4124} turned{H6437}{(H8689)} the back{H6203} with shame{H954}{(H8804)}! so shall Moab{H4124} be a derision{H7814} and a dismaying{H4288} to all them about{H5439} him. 40 For thus saith{H559}{(H8804)} the LORD{H3068}; Behold, he shall fly{H1675}{(H8799)} as an eagle{H5404}, and shall spread{H6566}{(H8804)} his wings{H3671} over Moab{H4124}. 41 Kerioth{H7152} is taken{H3920}{(H8738)}, and the strong holds{H4679} are surprised{H8610}{(H8738)}, and the mighty men's{H1368} hearts{H3820} in Moab{H4124} at that day{H3117} shall be as the heart{H3820} of a woman{H802} in her pangs{H6887}{(H8688)}. 42 And Moab{H4124} shall be destroyed{H8045}{(H8738)} from being a people{H5971}, because he hath magnified{H1431}{(H8689)} himself against the LORD{H3068}. 43 Fear{H6343}, and the pit{H6354}, and the snare{H6341}, shall be upon thee, O inhabitant{H3427}{(H8802)} of Moab{H4124}, saith{H5002}{(H8803)} the LORD{H3068}. 44 He that fleeth{H5127}{(H8801)}{(H8675)}{H5211} from{H6440} the fear{H6343} shall fall{H5307}{(H8799)} into the pit{H6354}; and he that getteth up{H5927}{(H8802)} out of the pit{H6354} shall be taken{H3920}{(H8735)} in the snare{H6341}: for I will bring{H935}{(H8686)} upon it, even upon Moab{H4124}, the year{H8141} of their visitation{H6486}, saith{H5002}{(H8803)} the LORD{H3068}. 45 They that fled{H5127}{(H8801)} stood{H5975}{(H8804)} under the shadow{H6738} of Heshbon{H2809} because of the force{H3581}: but a fire{H784} shall come forth{H3318}{(H8804)} out of Heshbon{H2809}, and a flame{H3852} from the midst{H996} of Sihon{H5511}, and shall devour{H398}{(H8799)} the corner{H6285} of Moab{H4124}, and the crown of the head{H6936} of the tumultuous{H7588} ones{H1121}. 46 Woe{H188} be unto thee, O Moab{H4124}! the people{H5971} of Chemosh{H3645} perisheth{H6}{(H8804)}: for thy sons{H1121} are taken{H3947}{(H8795)} captives{H7628}, and thy daughters{H1323} captives{H7633}. 47 Yet will I bring again{H7725}{(H8804)} the captivity{H7622} of Moab{H4124} in the latter{H319} days{H3117}, saith{H5002}{(H8803)} the LORD{H3068}. Thus far{H2008} is the judgment{H4941} of Moab{H4124}.
Ezek 25:8-9 : 8 Thus saith{H559}{(H8804)} the Lord{H136} GOD{H3069}; Because{H3282} that Moab{H4124} and Seir{H8165} do say{H559}{(H8800)}, Behold, the house{H1004} of Judah{H3063} is like unto all the heathen{H1471}; 9 Therefore, behold, I will open{H6605}{(H8802)} the side{H3802} of Moab{H4124} from the cities{H5892}, from his cities{H5892} which are on his frontiers{H7097}, the glory{H6643} of the country{H776}, Bethjeshimoth{H1020}, Baalmeon{H1186}, and Kiriathaim{H7156},
Isa 15:1-9 : 1 The burden{H4853} of Moab{H4124}. Because in the night{H3915} Ar{H6144} of Moab{H4124} is laid waste{H7703}{(H8795)}, and brought to silence{H1820}{(H8738)}; because in the night{H3915} Kir{H7024} of Moab{H4124} is laid waste{H7703}{(H8795)}, and brought to silence{H1820}{(H8738)}; 2 He is gone up{H5927}{(H8804)} to Bajith{H1006}, and to Dibon{H1769}, the high places{H1116}, to weep{H1065}: Moab{H4124} shall howl{H3213}{(H8686)} over Nebo{H5015}, and over Medeba{H4311}: on all their heads{H7218} shall be baldness{H7144}, and every beard{H2206} cut off{H1438}{(H8803)}. 3 In their streets{H2351} they shall gird{H2296}{(H8804)} themselves with sackcloth{H8242}: on the tops{H1406} of their houses, and in their streets{H7339}, every one shall howl{H3213}{(H8686)}, weeping{H1065} abundantly{H3381}{(H8802)}. 4 And Heshbon{H2809} shall cry{H2199}{(H8799)}, and Elealeh{H500}: their voice{H6963} shall be heard{H8085}{(H8738)} even unto Jahaz{H3096}: therefore the armed soldiers{H2502}{(H8803)} of Moab{H4124} shall cry out{H7321}{(H8686)}; his life{H5315} shall be grievous{H3415}{(H8804)} unto him. 5 My heart{H3820} shall cry out{H2199}{(H8799)} for Moab{H4124}; his fugitives{H1280} shall flee unto Zoar{H6820}, an heifer{H5697} of three years old{H7992}: for by the mounting up{H4608} of Luhith{H3872} with weeping{H1065} shall they go it up{H5927}{(H8799)}; for in the way{H1870} of Horonaim{H2773} they shall raise up{H5782}{(H8787)} a cry{H2201} of destruction{H7667}. 6 For the waters{H4325} of Nimrim{H5249} shall be desolate{H4923}: for the hay{H2682} is withered away{H3001}{(H8804)}, the grass{H1877} faileth{H3615}{(H8804)}, there is no green thing{H3418}. 7 Therefore the abundance{H3502} they have gotten{H6213}{(H8804)}, and that which they have laid up{H6486}, shall they carry away{H5375}{(H8799)} to the brook{H5158} of the willows{H6155}. 8 For the cry{H2201} is gone round about{H5362}{(H8689)} the borders{H1366} of Moab{H4124}; the howling{H3215} thereof unto Eglaim{H97}, and the howling{H3215} thereof unto Beerelim{H879}. 9 For the waters{H4325} of Dimon{H1775} shall be full{H4390}{(H8804)} of blood{H1818}: for I will bring{H7896}{(H8799)} more{H3254}{(H8737)} upon Dimon{H1775}, lions{H738} upon him that escapeth{H6413} of Moab{H4124}, and upon the remnant{H7611} of the land{H127}.
Isa 25:10 : 10 For in this mountain{H2022} shall the hand{H3027} of the LORD{H3068} rest{H5117}{(H8799)}, and Moab{H4124} shall be trodden down{H1758}{(H8736)} under him, even as straw{H4963} is trodden down{H1758}{(H8738)} for the dunghill{H1119}{H4087}{(H8675)}{H4325}.
2 Kgs 3:26-27 : 26 And when the king{H4428} of Moab{H4124} saw{H7200}{(H8799)} that the battle{H4421} was too sore{H2388}{(H8804)} for him, he took{H3947}{(H8799)} with him seven{H7651} hundred{H3967} men{H376} that drew{H8025}{(H8802)} swords{H2719}, to break through{H1234}{(H8687)} even unto the king{H4428} of Edom{H123}: but they could{H3201}{(H8804)} not. 27 Then he took{H3947}{(H8799)} his eldest{H1060} son{H1121} that should have reigned{H4427}{(H8799)} in his stead, and offered{H5927}{(H8686)} him for a burnt offering{H5930} upon the wall{H2346}. And there was great{H1419} indignation{H7110} against Israel{H3478}: and they departed{H5265}{(H8799)} from him, and returned{H7725}{(H8799)} to their own land{H776}.

Amos 2:4 : 4 Thus saith{H559}{(H8804)} the LORD{H3068}; For three{H7969} transgressions{H6588} of Judah{H3063}, and for four{H702}, I will not turn away{H7725}{(H8686)} the punishment thereof; because they have despised{H3988}{(H8800)} the law{H8451} of the LORD{H3068}, and have not kept{H8104}{(H8804)} his commandments{H2706}, and their lies{H3577} caused them to err{H8582}{(H8686)}, after{H310} the which their fathers{H1} have walked{H1980}{(H8804)}:
Amos 2:6 : 6 Thus saith{H559}{(H8804)} the LORD{H3068}; For three{H7969} transgressions{H6588} of Israel{H3478}, and for four{H702}, I will not turn away{H7725}{(H8686)} the punishment thereof; because they sold{H4376}{(H8800)} the righteous{H6662} for silver{H3701}, and the poor{H34} for a pair of shoes{H5275};
Mic 6:5 : 5 O my people{H5971}, remember{H2142}{(H8798)} now what Balak{H1111} king{H4428} of Moab{H4124} consulted{H3289}{(H8804)}, and what Balaam{H1109} the son{H1121} of Beor{H1160} answered{H6030}{(H8804)} him from Shittim{H7851} unto Gilgal{H1537}; that ye may know{H3045}{(H8800)} the righteousness{H6666} of the LORD{H3068}.

Amos 1:9 : 9 Thus saith{H559}{(H8804)} the LORD{H3068}; For three{H7969} transgressions{H6588} of Tyrus{H6865}, and for four{H702}, I will not turn away{H7725}{(H8686)} the punishment thereof; because they delivered up{H5462}{(H8687)} the whole{H8003} captivity{H1546} to Edom{H123}, and remembered{H2142}{(H8804)} not the brotherly{H251} covenant{H1285}:

Amos 1:13 : 13 Thus saith{H559}{(H8804)} the LORD{H3068}; For three{H7969} transgressions{H6588} of the children{H1121} of Ammon{H5983}, and for four{H702}, I will not turn away{H7725}{(H8686)} the punishment thereof; because they have ripped up{H1234}{(H8800)} the women with child{H2030} of Gilead{H1568}, that they might enlarge{H7337}{(H8687)} their border{H1366}:
Ps 83:4-7 : 4 They have said{H559}{H8804)}, Come{H3212}{H8798)}, and let us cut them off{H3582}{H8686)} from being a nation{H1471}; that the name{H8034} of Israel{H3478} may be no more in remembrance{H2142}{H8735)}. 5 For they have consulted{H3289}{H8738)} together{H3162} with one consent{H3820}: they are{H3772}{H8799)} confederate{H1285} against thee: 6 The tabernacles{H168} of Edom{H123}, and the Ishmaelites{H3459}; of Moab{H4124}, and the Hagarenes{H1905}; 7 Gebal{H1381}, and Ammon{H5983}, and Amalek{H6002}; the Philistines{H6429} with the inhabitants{H3427}{H8802)} of Tyre{H6865};
Prov 15:3 : 3 The eyes{H5869} of the LORD{H3068} are in every place{H4725}, beholding{H6822}{(H8802)} the evil{H7451} and the good{H2896}.
Isa 11:14 : 14 But they shall fly{H5774}{(H8804)} upon the shoulders{H3802} of the Philistines{H6430} toward the west{H3220}; they shall spoil{H962}{(H8799)} them{H1121} of the east{H6924} together{H3162}: they shall lay{H4916} their hand{H3027} upon Edom{H123} and Moab{H4124}; and the children{H1121} of Ammon{H5983} shall obey{H4928} them.
Num 22:1-9 : 1 And the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478} set forward{H5265}{(H8799)}, and pitched{H2583}{(H8799)} in the plains{H6160} of Moab{H4124} on this side{H5676} Jordan{H3383} by Jericho{H3405}. 2 And Balak{H1111} the son{H1121} of Zippor{H6834} saw{H7200}{(H8799)} all that Israel{H3478} had done{H6213}{(H8804)} to the Amorites{H567}. 3 And Moab{H4124} was sore{H3966} afraid{H1481}{(H8799)} of{H6440} the people{H5971}, because they were many{H7227}: and Moab{H4124} was distressed{H6973}{(H8799)} because of{H6440} the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478}. 4 And Moab{H4124} said{H559}{(H8799)} unto the elders{H2205} of Midian{H4080}, Now shall this company{H6951} lick up{H3897}{(H8762)} all that are round about{H5439} us, as the ox{H7794} licketh up{H3897}{(H8800)} the grass{H3418} of the field{H7704}. And Balak{H1111} the son{H1121} of Zippor{H6834} was king{H4428} of the Moabites{H4124} at that time{H6256}. 5 He sent{H7971}{(H8799)} messengers{H4397} therefore unto Balaam{H1109} the son{H1121} of Beor{H1160} to Pethor{H6604}, which is by the river{H5104} of the land{H776} of the children{H1121} of his people{H5971}, to call{H7121}{(H8800)} him, saying{H559}{(H8800)}, Behold, there is a people{H5971} come out{H3318}{(H8804)} from Egypt{H4714}: behold, they cover{H3680}{(H8765)} the face{H5869} of the earth{H776}, and they abide{H3427}{(H8802)} over against{H4136} me: 6 Come{H3212}{(H8798)} now therefore, I pray thee, curse{H779}{(H8798)} me this people{H5971}; for they are too mighty{H6099} for me: peradventure I shall prevail{H3201}{(H8799)}, that we may smite{H5221}{(H8686)} them, and that I may drive them out{H1644}{(H8762)} of the land{H776}: for I wot{H3045}{(H8804)} that he whom thou blessest{H1288}{(H8762)} is blessed{H1288}{(H8794)}, and he whom thou cursest{H779}{(H8799)} is cursed{H779}{(H8714)}. 7 And the elders{H2205} of Moab{H4124} and the elders{H2205} of Midian{H4080} departed{H3212}{(H8799)} with the rewards of divination{H7081} in their hand{H3027}; and they came{H935}{(H8799)} unto Balaam{H1109}, and spake{H1696}{(H8762)} unto him the words{H1697} of Balak{H1111}. 8 And he said{H559}{(H8799)} unto them, Lodge{H3885}{(H8798)} here this night{H3915}, and I will bring{H7725} you word{H1697} again{H7725}{(H8689)}, as the LORD{H3068} shall speak{H1696}{(H8762)} unto me: and the princes{H8269} of Moab{H4124} abode{H3427}{(H8799)} with Balaam{H1109}. 9 And God{H430} came{H935}{(H8799)} unto Balaam{H1109}, and said{H559}{(H8799)}, What men{H582} are these with thee? 10 And Balaam{H1109} said{H559}{(H8799)} unto God{H430}, Balak{H1111} the son{H1121} of Zippor{H6834}, king{H4428} of Moab{H4124}, hath sent{H7971}{(H8804)} unto me, saying, 11 Behold, there is a people{H5971} come out{H3318}{(H8802)} of Egypt{H4714}, which covereth{H3680}{(H8762)} the face{H5869} of the earth{H776}: come{H3212}{(H8798)} now, curse{H6895}{(H8798)} me them; peradventure I shall be able{H3201}{(H8799)} to overcome{H3898}{(H8736)} them, and drive them out{H1644}{(H8765)}. 12 And God{H430} said{H559}{(H8799)} unto Balaam{H1109}, Thou shalt not go{H3212}{(H8799)} with them; thou shalt not curse{H779}{(H8799)} the people{H5971}: for they are blessed{H1288}{(H8803)}. 13 And Balaam{H1109} rose up{H6965}{(H8799)} in the morning{H1242}, and said{H559}{(H8799)} unto the princes{H8269} of Balak{H1111}, Get{H3212}{(H8798)} you into your land{H776}: for the LORD{H3068} refuseth{H3985}{(H8765)} to give me leave{H5414}{(H8800)} to go{H1980}{(H8800)} with you. 14 And the princes{H8269} of Moab{H4124} rose up{H6965}{(H8799)}, and they went{H935}{(H8799)} unto Balak{H1111}, and said{H559}{(H8799)}, Balaam{H1109} refuseth{H3985}{(H8765)} to come{H1980}{(H8800)} with us. 15 And Balak{H1111} sent{H7971}{(H8800)} yet again{H3254}{(H8686)} princes{H8269}, more{H7227}, and more honourable{H3513}{(H8737)} than they. 16 And they came{H935}{(H8799)} to Balaam{H1109}, and said{H559}{(H8799)} to him, Thus saith{H559}{(H8804)} Balak{H1111} the son{H1121} of Zippor{H6834}, Let nothing, I pray thee, hinder{H4513}{(H8735)} thee from coming{H1980}{(H8800)} unto me: 17 For I will promote{H3513} thee unto very{H3966} great{H3513}{(H8763)} honour{H3513}{(H8762)}, and I will do{H6213}{(H8799)} whatsoever thou sayest{H559}{(H8799)} unto me: come{H3212}{(H8798)} therefore, I pray thee, curse{H6895}{(H8798)} me this people{H5971}. 18 And Balaam{H1109} answered{H6030}{(H8799)} and said{H559}{(H8799)} unto the servants{H5650} of Balak{H1111}, If Balak{H1111} would give{H5414}{(H8799)} me his house{H1004} full{H4393} of silver{H3701} and gold{H2091}, I cannot{H3201}{(H8799)} go beyond{H5674}{(H8800)} the word{H6310} of the LORD{H3068} my God{H430}, to do{H6213}{(H8800)} less{H6996} or more{H1419}. 19 Now therefore, I pray you, tarry{H3427}{(H8798)} ye also here this night{H3915}, that I may know{H3045}{(H8799)} what the LORD{H3068} will say{H1696}{(H8763)} unto me more{H3254}{(H8686)}. 20 And God{H430} came{H935}{(H8799)} unto Balaam{H1109} at night{H3915}, and said{H559}{(H8799)} unto him, If the men{H582} come{H935}{(H8804)} to call{H7121}{(H8800)} thee, rise up{H6965}{(H8798)}, and go{H3212}{(H8798)} with them; but yet{H389} the word{H1697} which I shall say{H1696}{(H8762)} unto thee, that shalt thou do{H6213}{(H8799)}. 21 And Balaam{H1109} rose up{H6965}{(H8799)} in the morning{H1242}, and saddled{H2280}{(H8799)} his ass{H860}, and went{H3212}{(H8799)} with the princes{H8269} of Moab{H4124}. 22 And God's{H430} anger{H639} was kindled{H2734}{(H8799)} because he went{H1980}{(H8802)}: and the angel{H4397} of the LORD{H3068} stood{H3320}{(H8691)} in the way{H1870} for an adversary{H7854} against him. Now he was riding{H7392}{(H8802)} upon his ass{H860}, and his two{H8147} servants{H5288} were with him. 23 And the ass{H860} saw{H7200}{(H8799)} the angel{H4397} of the LORD{H3068} standing{H5324}{(H8737)} in the way{H1870}, and his sword{H2719} drawn{H8025}{(H8803)} in his hand{H3027}: and the ass{H860} turned aside{H5186}{(H8799)} out of the way{H1870}, and went{H3212}{(H8799)} into the field{H7704}: and Balaam{H1109} smote{H5221}{(H8686)} the ass{H860}, to turn{H5186}{(H8687)} her into the way{H1870}. 24 But the angel{H4397} of the LORD{H3068} stood{H5975}{(H8799)} in a path{H4934} of the vineyards{H3754}, a wall{H1447} being on this side, and a wall{H1447} on that side. 25 And when the ass{H860} saw{H7200}{(H8799)} the angel{H4397} of the LORD{H3068}, she thrust{H3905}{(H8735)} herself unto the wall{H7023}, and crushed{H3905}{(H8799)} Balaam's{H1109} foot{H7272} against the wall{H7023}: and he smote{H5221}{(H8687)} her again{H3254}{(H8686)}.
Deut 23:4-5 : 4 Because{H1697} they met{H6923}{(H8765)} you not with bread{H3899} and with water{H4325} in the way{H1870}, when ye came forth{H3318}{(H8800)} out of Egypt{H4714}; and because they hired{H7936}{(H8804)} against thee Balaam{H1109} the son{H1121} of Beor{H1160} of Pethor{H6604} of Mesopotamia{H763}, to curse{H7043}{(H8763)} thee. 5 Nevertheless the LORD{H3068} thy God{H430} would{H14}{(H8804)} not hearken{H8085}{(H8800)} unto Balaam{H1109}; but the LORD{H3068} thy God{H430} turned{H2015}{(H8799)} the curse{H7045} into a blessing{H1293} unto thee, because the LORD{H3068} thy God{H430} loved{H157}{(H8804)} thee.
2 Kgs 3:9 : 9 So the king{H4428} of Israel{H3478} went{H3212}{(H8799)}, and the king{H4428} of Judah{H3063}, and the king{H4428} of Edom{H123}: and they fetched a compass{H5437}{(H8799)} of seven{H7651} days{H3117}' journey{H1870}: and there was no water{H4325} for the host{H4264}, and for the cattle{H929} that followed{H7272} them.
