Numbers 23:4-9

⁴And God met Balaam; and Balaam said to him, I have disposed seven altars, and have offered up a bullock and a ram upon each altar.

⁵And Jehovah put a word in Balaam's mouth, and said, Return to Balak, and thus shalt thou speak.

⁶And he returned to him, and behold, he was standing by his burnt-offering, he, and all the princes of Moab.

⁷And he took up his parable, and said, Balak the king of Moab hath brought me from Aram, from the mountains of the east: Come, curse me Jacob, and come, denounce Israel!

⁸How shall I curse whom God hath not cursed? or how shall I denounce whom Jehovah doth not denounce?

⁹For from the top of the rocks I see him, and from the hills I behold him: Lo, it is a people that shall dwell alone and shall not be reckoned among the nations.
