Numbers 24:7-9

New Catholic Bible

⁷ like water that pours forth from buckets,
    their seed will be mighty waters.
Their king will be higher than Agag,^[a]
    their kingdom will be exalted.
⁸ God has brought them forth from Egypt,
    their strength is that of the wild ox.
They will devour nations,
    they will break the bones of their enemies,
they will pierce them through with their arrows.
⁹ He crouches down, he lay down like a lion; who dare rouse him?
Blessed is the one who blesses him,
    but cursed is the one who curses him.”
