Numbers 23:7-9

Amplified Bible

⁷Balaam took up his [first] discourse (oracle) and said:

“Balak, the king of Moab, has brought me from Aram (Syria),
from the mountains of the east, [saying,]
‘Come, curse [the descendants of] Jacob for me;
And come, [violently] denounce Israel.’
⁸
“How shall I curse those whom God has not cursed?
Or how can I [violently] denounce those the Lord has not denounced?
⁹
“For from the top of the rocks I see Israel,
And from the hills I look at him.
Behold, the people [of Israel] shall dwell alone
And will not be reckoned among the nations.
