Numbers 24:6-8

Contemporary English Version

⁶ It's like a grove of palm trees^[a]
    or a garden beside a river.
You are like tall aloe trees
    that the Lord has planted,
or like cedars
    growing near water.
⁷ You and your descendants
will prosper like an orchard
    beside a stream.
Your king will rule with power
and be a greater king
    than Agag the Amalekite.^[b]
8 With the strength of a wild ox,
    God led you out of Egypt.
You will defeat your enemies,
shooting them with arrows^[c]
    and crushing their bones.
