Balaam finishes the prophecy under the control of the Spirit of God.

|
# He crouches down like a lion, like a lioness
|
|
|
|
In this simile, Balaam compares the Israelites to both male and female lions. This means they are dangerous and always ready to attack. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-simile]])

# 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. Alternate translation: "No one dares to disturb him!" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-rquestion]])

|
# May everyone who blesses him be blessed; may everyone who curses him be cursed
|
|
|
|
This can be stated in active form. Alternate translation: "May God bless those who bless the Israelites; may he curse those who curse the Israelites" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-activepassive]])
