Numbers 23:7-9

Modern English Version

“Balak has brought me from Aram,
    the king of Moab from the mountains of the east,
saying, ‘Come, curse Jacob for me,
    and come, defy Israel!’
⁸ How will I curse
    whom God has not cursed?
Or how will I defy
    whom the Lord has not defied?
⁹ For from the top of the rocks I see him,
    and from the hills I behold him;
there, the people will dwell alone
    and will not be counted among the nations.
