15 ^aAnd he took up his discourse and said,

“The oracle of Balaam the son of Beor,
the oracle of the man whose eye is opened,
16 the oracle of him who hears the words of God,
and knows the knowledge of ^bthe Most High,
who sees the vision of the Almighty,
^cfalling down with his eyes uncovered:
17 ^dI see him, but not now;
I behold him, but not near:
^ea star shall come out of Jacob,
and ^fa scepter shall rise out of Israel;
it shall ^gcrush the forehead ^{▼▼Hebrew corners [of the head]} of Moab
and break down all the sons of Sheth.
18 ⁱEdom shall be dispossessed;
^jSeir also, his enemies, shall be dispossessed.
Israel is doing valiantly.
19 And one from Jacob shall exercise dominion
and destroy the survivors of cities!”
20 Then he looked on Amalek and ^ktook up his discourse and said,

“Amalek was the first among the nations,
^lbut its end is utter destruction.”
21 And he looked on the Kenite, and took up his discourse and said,

“Enduring is your dwelling place,
and your nest is set in the rock.
22 Nevertheless, Kain shall be burned
when Asshur takes you away captive.”
23 And he took up his discourse and said,

“Alas, who shall live when God does this?
24 But ships shall come from ^mKittim
and shall afflict Asshur and ⁿEber;
and he too ^oshall come to utter destruction.”

Matthew 7:22-23

22 ^pOn that day ^qmany will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not ^rprophesy in your name, and cast out demons ^sin your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ 23 ^tAnd then will I declare to them, ‘I ^unever knew you; ^vdepart from me, ^wyou workers of lawlessness.’

1 Corinthians 14:6-9

6 Now, brothers, ^{▼▼Or brothers and sisters; also verses 20, 26, 39} if I come to you speaking in tongues, how will I benefit you unless I bring you some ^atrevelation or knowledge or prophecy or ^auteaching? 7 If even lifeless instruments, such as the flute or the harp, do not give distinct notes, how will anyone know what is played? 8 And ^avif the bugle gives an indistinct sound, who will get ready for battle? 9 So with yourselves, if with your tongue you utter speech that is not intelligible, how will anyone know what is said? For you will be ^awspeaking into the air.
