Numbers 23:8-13

⁸How may I put curses on him who is not cursed by God? how may I be angry with him with whom the Lord is not angry?

⁹From the top of the rocks I see him, looking down on him from the hills: it is a people made separate, not to be numbered among the nations.

¹⁰Who is able to take the measure of the dust of Jacob or the number of the thousands of Israel? May my death be the death of the upright and my last end like his!

¹¹Then Balak said to Balaam, What have you done to me? I sent for you so that my haters might be cursed, and see, you have given them a blessing.

¹²And in answer he said, Am I not ordered to say only what the Lord puts into my mouth?

¹³And Balak said to him, Come with me now into another place from which you will not be able to see them all, but only the outskirts of them; and you will send curses on them from there.
