Deuteronomy 23:4-6

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

⁴ Because they did not meet you with food and water on the way when you came forth out of Egypt, and because they hired Balaam son of Beor of Pethor of Mesopotamia against you to curse you.

⁵ Nevertheless, the Lord your God would not listen to Balaam, but the Lord your God turned the curse into a blessing to you, because the Lord your God loves you.

⁶ You shall not seek their peace or their prosperity all your days forever.
