And Balaam lifted up an oracle, saying: “Balak brought me from Aram, the king of Moab from the mountains of the east. ‘Come,’ he said, ‘put a curse on Jacob for me; come and denounce Israel!’

How can I curse those whom God has not cursed? How can I denounce those whom the LORD has not denounced?

God is a righteous judge and a God who feels indignation each day.

The mouth of an adulteress is a deep pit; he who is under the wrath of the LORD will fall into it.

Whoever tells the guilty, “You are innocent”—peoples will curse him, and nations will denounce him;

As the north wind brings forth rain, so a backbiting tongue brings angry looks.

When you see, you will rejoice, and you will flourish like grass; then the hand of the LORD will be revealed to His servants, but His wrath will be shown to His enemies.

Ships of Kittim will come against him, and he will lose heart. Then he will turn back and rage against the holy covenant and do damage. So he will return and show favor to those who forsake the holy covenant.

Can I forget any longer, O house of the wicked, the treasures of wickedness and the short ephah, which is accursed?

Then the angel of the LORD said, “How long, O LORD of Hosts, will You withhold mercy from Jerusalem and the cities of Judah, with which You have been angry these seventy years?”

Though Edom may say, “We have been devastated, but we will rebuild the ruins,” this is what the LORD of Hosts says: “They may build, but I will demolish. They will be called the Land of Wickedness, and a people with whom the LORD is indignant forever.
