Numbers 23:7-9

International Children’s Bible

“Balak brought me here from Aram.
    The king of Moab brought me from the eastern mountains.
Balak said, ‘Come, put a curse on the people of Jacob for me.
    Come, wish evil on the people of Israel.’
⁸ But God has not cursed them.
    So I cannot curse them.
The Lord has not wished evil on them.
    So I cannot wish evil on them.
⁹ I see them from the mountains.
    I see them from the hills.
I see a people who live alone.
    They think they are different from other nations.
