Numbers 22:10-12

New International Version - UK

¹⁰ Balaam said to God, ‘Balak son of Zippor, king of Moab, sent me this message: ¹¹ “A people that has come out of Egypt covers the face of the land. Now come and put a curse on them for me. Perhaps then I will be able to fight them and drive them away.”’

¹² But God said to Balaam, ‘Do not go with them. You must not put a curse on those people, because they are blessed.’
