4 (A)because they did not meet you with [a]food and water on the way when you came out of Egypt, and because they hired against you (B)Balaam the son of Beor from Pethor of [b]Mesopotamia, to curse you. 5 Nevertheless, Yahweh your God was not willing to listen to Balaam, but Yahweh your God (C)turned the curse into a blessing for you because Yahweh your God (D)loves you. 6 (E)You shall never seek their peace or their prosperity all your days.
