10 At that Baʹlak’s anger blazed against Baʹlaam and he clapped his hands,+ and Baʹlak went on to say to Baʹlaam: “It was to execrate+ my enemies that I called you, and, look! you have blessed them to the limit these three times.
5 And Jehovah* your God did not want to listen to Baʹlaam;+ but Jehovah your God in your behalf changed the malediction into a blessing,+ because Jehovah your God loved you.+
5 O my people, remember,+ please, what Baʹlak the king of Moʹab counseled,+ and what Baʹlaam the son of Beʹor answered him.+ From Shitʹtim*+ it was, all the way to Gilʹgal,+ to the intent that the righteous acts of Jehovah might be known.”+
