Numbers 23:8-10

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

⁸ How can I curse whom God has not cursed?
    How can I denounce those whom the Lord has not denounced?^(A)
9 For from the top of the crags I see him;
    from the hills I behold him.
Here is a people living alone
    and not reckoning itself among the nations!^(B)
10 Who can count the dust of Jacob
    or number the dust cloud^[a] of Israel?
Let me die the death of the upright,
    and let my end be like his!”^(C)
