MSG(17-24)Balaam returned and found him stationed beside his Whole-Burnt-Offering and the nobles of Moab with him. Balak said to him, “What did God say?” Then Balaam spoke his message-oracle:
  On your feet, Balak. Listen,
  listen carefully son of Zippor:
God is not man, one given to lies,
  and not a son of man changing his mind.
Does he speak and not do what he says?
  Does he promise and not come through?
I was brought here to bless;
  and now he’s blessed—how can I change that?
He has no bone to pick with Jacob,
  he sees nothing wrong with Israel.
God is with them,
  and they’re with him, shouting praises to their King.
God brought them out of Egypt,
  rampaging like a wild ox.
No magic spells can bind Jacob,
  no incantations can hold back Israel.
People will look at Jacob and Israel and say,
  “What a great thing has God done!”
Look, a people rising to its feet, stretching like a lion,
  a king-of-the-beasts, aroused,
Unsleeping, unresting until its hunt is over
  and it’s eaten and drunk its fill.

TSNTyndale Study Notes:

23:1-30 As a diviner, Balaam performed rituals to interpret omens and ascertain Israel’s future (cp. 23:23; 24:1). Balak had summoned him to pronounce imprecations, but God repeatedly prohibited him from doing so.
• It is possible that these sacrifices were connected with the practice of extispicy—the examination of animal livers or other organs for an omen concerning the future. According to ancient Near Eastern texts, this form of fortune-telling was a widely practiced and highly developed art. Such practices were banned from Israel (see Deut 18:9-14; cp. Ezek 21:21).


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

(Occurrence 0) the people rise like a lioness … he has killed

(Some words not found in UHB: look people like,lioness rise and,like,lion rouse not lie_down until devours prey and,blood slain drinks )

This verse is a long metaphor that speaks of Israel defeating her enemies as if Israel was a lion devouring its prey.
