Numbers 24:8-10
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
8 They have the like of a wild ox’s horns:
God who brought them out of Egypt.
They will devour hostile nations,
break their bones, and crush their loins.(A)
9 Crouching, they lie like a lion,
or like a lioness; who will arouse them?
Blessed are those who bless you,
and cursed are those who curse you!(B)
10 In a blaze of anger at Balaam, Balak clapped his hands[a] and said to him, “It was to lay a curse on my foes that I summoned you here; yet three times now you have actually blessed them!(C)

they have the strength of a wild ox.
They devour hostile nations
and break their bones in pieces;(A)
with their arrows they pierce them.(B)
9 Like a lion they crouch and lie down,
like a lioness(C)—who dares to rouse them?
10 Then Balak’s anger burned(F) against Balaam. He struck his hands together(G) and said to him, “I summoned you to curse my enemies,(H) but you have blessed them(I) these three times.(J)
