Numbers 23:6-8

The Voice

⁶So Balaam walked back down and over to where Balak stood waiting next to the burnt offerings, along with the officials of Moab. ⁷Balaam recited His words.

Balaam: The king of Moab got me to come here, all the way from my home in Aram.
        Balak summoned me from the eastern mountains.
    “Come, curse Jacob for me!”
        “Come, denounce Israel!”
⁸    But I ask you, how can I curse any whom God has not cursed
        or denounce whomever the Eternal has not denounced?
