Numbers 23:8-10
English Standard Version Anglicised
8 How can I curse whom God has not cursed?
How can I denounce whom the Lord has not denounced?
9 For from the top of the crags (A)I see him,
from the hills I behold him;
behold, (B)a people dwelling alone,
and (C)not counting itself among the nations!
10 (D)Who can count the dust of Jacob
or number the fourth part[a] of Israel?
Let me die (E)the death of the upright,
and let my end be like his!”

Numbers 23:8-10
New International Version
8 How can I curse
those whom God has not cursed?(A)
How can I denounce
those whom the Lord has not denounced?(B)
9 From the rocky peaks I see them,
from the heights I view them.(C)
I see a people who live apart
and do not consider themselves one of the nations.(D)
10 Who can count the dust of Jacob(E)
or number even a fourth of Israel?
Let me die the death of the righteous,(F)
and may my final end be like theirs!(G)”
