Numbers 23:8-12

New American Standard Bible

^8 (A)How am I to put a curse on him upon whom God has not put a curse?
And how am I to curse him whom the Lord has not cursed?
⁹ For I see him from the top of the rocks,
And I look at him from the hills;
^(B)Behold, a people that lives in isolation,
And does not consider itself to be among the nations.
^10 (C)Who has counted the dust of Jacob,
Or the number of the fourth part of Israel?
^(D)May ^[a]I die the death of the upright,
^(E)And may my end be like his!”
