Numbers 22:10-12

Modern English Version

¹⁰ And Balaam said to God, “Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, has sent word to me, saying, ¹¹ ‘A people went out of Egypt who covers the face of the earth. Now come, curse them for me. Perhaps I will be able to battle them and drive them out.’ ”

¹² God said to Balaam, “You will not go with them. You will not curse the people because they are blessed.”
