Numbers 23:8-10

Modern English Version

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.
¹⁰ Who can count the dust of Jacob
    and the number of the fourth part of Israel?
Let me die the death of the righteous,
    and let my last end be like his!”
