Numbers 23:7-10

English Standard Version

“From ^(B)Aram Balak has brought me,
    the king of Moab ^(C)from the eastern mountains:
‘Come, ^(D)curse Jacob for me,
    and come, denounce Israel!’
⁸ How can I curse whom God has not cursed?
    How can I denounce whom the Lord has not denounced?
⁹ For from the top of the crags ^(E)I see him,
    from the hills I behold him;
behold, ^(F)a people dwelling alone,
    and ^(G)not counting itself among the nations!
^10 (H)Who can count the dust of Jacob
    or number the fourth part^[a] of Israel?
Let me die ^(I)the death of the upright,
    and let my end be like his!”
