Numbers 23:7-9

New International Version - UK

‘Balak brought me from Aram,
    the king of Moab from the eastern mountains.
“Come,” he said, “curse Jacob for me;
    come, denounce Israel.”
⁸ How can I curse
    those whom God has not cursed?
How can I denounce
    those whom the Lord has not denounced?
⁹ From the rocky peaks I see them,
    from the heights I view them.
I see people who live apart
    and do not consider themselves one of the nations.
