Numbers 23:21 KJV
He hath not beheld iniquity in Jacob, neither hath he seen perverseness in Israel: the LORD his God is with him, and the shout of a king is among them.
This is something. Balaam, though compromising in his relationship with Balak and the Moabites, was a prophet of God and the Bible says God put this word in his mouth.
God had not beheld iniquity or seen perverseness in the children of Israel.
This after their unbelief at Kadesh Barnea
This after the fact that his generation would die in the wilderness as a consequence of that unbelief
This after the rebellion of Korah
This after they had blamed Korah's death on Moses and Aaron
This after they Moses smote the rock and God said he would not enter the Promised Land because of it
This after they spake against Moses and God sent serpents to chasten them
Despite all of these sins (and more I did not list) that Israel had committed, God says He had not beheld their iniquity or seen their perverseness.
What mercy and grace God has for His people! If only we will come to Him and lean upon His Word! I believe we can then claim that God does not behold our iniquity or see our perverseness either.
