Numbers 23:9-11

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁹ For from the top of the mountains I see him,
    from the hills I behold him;
lo, a people dwelling alone,
    and not reckoning itself among the nations!
¹⁰ Who can count the dust of Jacob,
    or number the fourth part^[a] of Israel?
Let me die the death of the righteous,
    and let my end be like his!”
