Numbers 23:8-10

New Catholic Bible

⁸ How shall I curse those whom God has not cursed,
how shall I denounce those whom the Lord has not denounced?^[a]
9 From the top of the rocks I see him,
    from the hills I behold him.
Behold, a people dwelling alone,
    not counted among the nations.
¹⁰ Who 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.”
