Balak

 בס״ד



Balak


HaShem puts blessings into Bilaam’s mouth

No iniquity or perversion is to be found

We arise like a lion

To be blessed, not cursed


Such accolades are placed on Bilaam’s tongue

And yet, to us, He sends plague after plague

Fiery serpents, and a pestilence of quail

His wrath burns against us

He pledges to annihilate us


Like a parent, who scolds and disciplines

His recalcitrant child

Yet defends him and protects him

From those who wish him harm


We did not hear HaShem praising us

 And we were unaware of Bilaam’s curses

Which were turning, as in our time,

Into blessings
