Numbers 23:8-10

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁸ How can I curse those whom God hasn’t cursed?
How can I condemn those whom the Lord hasn’t condemned?
⁹ I see them from the top of rocky cliffs,
I look at them from the hills.
I see a nation that lives by itself,
people who do not consider themselves
to be like other nations.
¹⁰ The descendants of Jacob are like specks of dust.
Who can count them
or number even one-fourth of the people of Israel?
Let me die the death of innocent people.
Let my end be like theirs.”
