Water will flow from his buckets,
and his seed will be by abundant water.
His king will be greater than Agag,(A)
and his kingdom will be exalted.
God brought him out of Egypt;
he is like[a] the horns of a wild ox for them.(B)
He will feed on enemy nations
and gnaw their bones;
he will strike them with his arrows.
He crouches, he lies down like a lion
or a lioness—who dares to rouse him?(C)
Those who bless you will be blessed,
and those who curse you will be cursed.(D)
