Numbers 22:5-6

Legacy Standard Bible

⁵ So he sent messengers to ^(A)Balaam the son of Beor, at ^(B)Pethor, which is near the ^[a]River, in the land of the sons of his people, to call him, saying, “Behold, a people came out of Egypt; behold, they cover the surface of the land, and they are settled opposite me. ^6 (C)So now, please come, ^(D)curse this people for me since they are too ^[b]mighty for me; perhaps I may be able to strike them down and drive them out of the land. For I know that he whom you bless is blessed, and he whom you curse is cursed.”
