Numbers 23:10-12

New Catholic Bible

¹⁰Who can count the dust of Jacob,
or number one-fourth of Israel?
Let me die the death of the righteous,
let my end be like his.”

¹¹Then Balak said to Balaam, “What have you done to me? I brought you to curse my enemies, but you have bountifully blessed them.” ¹²But he answered, “Must I not proclaim what the Lord has put into my mouth?”
