The story of Balaak and Balaam is in Numbers, Chapter 22:2 - 24:25
The King of Moab was named Balak
Truth be told, he was cruel, diabolic
Afraid of the Israelites, he hired the sorcerer Balaam
a ‘prophet-for-hire,’ he’d curse the Jews with nary a qualm
Yet whenever Balaam tried to curse the Jews
praises issued forth from his mouth, quite a few
Balak had figured the Jews’ leader, Moses, fights with words of the Lord
So he'd hire the prophet Balaam; the Lord also infuses his vocal cords…
But poor Balak made one enormous mistake
Moses stuttered badly – ‘twas Aaron’s words made the earth quake
Moses’ hidden weapon was his heart, united with God, whom he loved
unlike mercenary Balaam ~ for a heart he was devoid of
