G-d transformed the curse that Bilaam had planned to say into a blessing. Just as Bilaam, a non-Jew, prophesized about the downfall of the nations and the victory of the Jews over them, using all his prophetic power to bless the Jews, in the Redemption the nations will use their energy to help us. Just as the curse was transformed into a blessing, the exile will be transformed into the joy of the Redemption.
