Numbers 22:10-12

Contemporary English Version

¹⁰ “They are messengers from King Balak of Moab,” Balaam answered. “He sent them ¹¹ to ask me to go to Moab and put a curse on the people who have come there from Egypt. They have settled everywhere around him, and he wants to run them off.”

¹² But God replied, “Don't go with Balak's messengers. I have blessed those people who have come from Egypt, so don't curse them.”
