Numbers 23:9-11

New International Reader's Version

⁹ I see them from the rocky peaks.
    I view them from the hills.
I see a group of people who live by themselves.
    They don’t consider themselves to be one of the nations.
¹⁰ Jacob’s people are like the dust of the earth.
    Can dust be counted?
    Who can count even a fourth of the Israelites?
Let me die as godly people die.
    Let my death be like theirs!”
