Deuteronomy 23:4-6

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

⁴ This is because they did not meet you with food and water on the journey after you came out of Egypt, and because Balaam son of Beor from Pethor in Aram-naharaim was hired to curse you.^{(A) 5} Yet the Lord your God would not listen to Balaam, but he turned the curse into a blessing for you because the Lord your God loves^(B) you.^{(C) 6} Never pursue their welfare or prosperity as long as you live.
