Numbers 23:23-25
Names of God Bible
23 No spell can curse the descendants of Jacob.
No magic can harm the people of Israel.
Now it will be said of Jacob and Israel:
‘See what El has done!’
24 Here is a nation that attacks like a lioness
and is as ferocious as a lion.
It doesn’t lie down until it eats its prey
and drinks the blood of its victim.”
25 Balak said to Balaam, “If you won’t curse them, then at least don’t bless them!”

New International Version
23 There is no divination against[a] Jacob,
no evil omens(A) against[b] Israel.
It will now be said of Jacob
and of Israel, ‘See what God has done!’
24 The people rise like a lioness;(B)
they rouse themselves like a lion(C)
that does not rest till it devours its prey
and drinks the blood(D) of its victims.”
25 Then Balak said to Balaam, “Neither curse them at all nor bless them at all!”
