Numbers 23:7

Because they met you not with bread and with water in the way, when ye came forth out of Egypt; and because they hired against thee Balaam the son of Beor of Pethor of Mesopotamia, to curse thee.

And he took up his parable, and said, Rise up, Balak, and hear; hearken unto me, thou son of Zippor:

And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor hath said, and the man whose eyes are open hath said:

In that day shall one take up a parable against you, and lament with a doleful lamentation, and say, We be utterly spoiled: he hath changed the portion of my people: how hath he removed it from me! turning away he hath divided our fields.

I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings of old:

And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor hath said, and the man whose eyes are open hath said:

And he took up his parable, and said, Alas, who shall live when God doeth this!

Moreover Job continued his parable, and said,

That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.

And they sought to lay hold on him, but feared the people: for they knew that he had spoken the parable against them: and they left him, and went their way.

As the bird by wandering, as the swallow by flying, so the curse causeless shall not come.

And after him was Eleazar the son of Dodo the Ahohite, one of the three mighty men with David, when they defied the Philistines that were there gathered together to battle, and the men of Israel were gone away:

Moreover Job continued his parable, and said,

Then said David to the Philistine, Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied.

Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.

Behold, there is a people come out of Egypt, which covereth the face of the earth: come now, curse me them; peradventure I shall be able to overcome them, and drive them out.

Arise, go to Padanaram, to the house of Bethuel thy mother’s father; and take thee a wife from thence of the daughters of Laban thy mother’s brother.

Son of man, put forth a riddle, and speak a parable unto the house of Israel;

And that Jacob obeyed his father and his mother, and was gone to Padanaram;

Thy servant slew both the lion and the bear: and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them, seeing he hath defied the armies of the living God.
