Numbers 23:5-7

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁵ And the Lord put the word in his mouth, and said: Return to Balac, and thus shalt thou speak.

⁶ Returning he found Balac standing by his burnt offering, with all the princes of the Moabites:

⁷ And taking up his parable, he said: Balac king of the Moabites hath brought me from Aram, from the mountains of the east: Come, said he, and curse Jacob: make haste and detest Israel.
