Numbers 22:2-4

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

² And Balac the son of Sephor, seeing all that Israel had done to the Amorrhite,

³ And that the Moabites were in great fear of him, and were not able to sustain his assault,

⁴ He said to the elders of Madian: So will this people destroy all that dwell in our borders, as the ox is wont to eat the grass to the very roots. Now he was at that time king in Moab.
