Numbers 23:10-12

International Standard Version

¹⁰Who can count the dust of Jacob?
Who can number the dust of Israel?
Let me die the death of the righteous,
and may I end up like him.”

¹¹“What are you doing to me?” Balak asked Balaam. “I brought you to curse my enemies, not pronounce a blessing!”

¹²But in response, Balaam asked, “Shouldn’t I be careful to communicate only what the Lord puts in my mouth?”
