Numbers 23:8-10
1599 Geneva Bible
8 How shall I curse, where God hath not cursed? or how shall I detest, where the Lord hath not detested?
9 For from the top of the rocks I did see him, and from the hills I did behold him: lo, the people shall dwell by themselves, and shall not be reckoned among the [a]nations.
10 Who can tell the [b]dust of Jacob, and the number of the fourth part of Israel? Let me [c]die the death of the righteous, and let my last end be like his.
