Balaam finishes the prophecy under the control of the Spirit of God.
He crouches down like a lion, like a lioness

Who dares disturb him?
Balaam uses a question to warn all the people to not provoke the Israelites. This can be translated as a statement. AT: "No one dares to disturb him!" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion)
May everyone who blesses him be blessed; may everyone who curses him be cursed
