Numbers 23:7-9

Revised Geneva Translation

⁷ Then he uttered his parable, and said, “Balak the King of Moab has brought me from Aram, out of the mountains of the east, saying, ‘Come, curse Jacob for my sake. Come, and detest Israel.’

⁸ “How shall I curse where God has not cursed? Or how shall I detest where the LORD has not detested?

⁹ “For from the top of the rocks I saw him, and from the hills I beheld him. Lo, the people shall dwell by themselves and shall not be reckoned among the nations.
