Numbers 23:7-9

New Living Translation

“Balak summoned me to come from Aram;
    the king of Moab brought me from the eastern hills.
‘Come,’ he said, ‘curse Jacob for me!
    Come and announce Israel’s doom.’
⁸ But how can I curse those
    whom God has not cursed?
How can I condemn those
    whom the Lord has not condemned?
⁹ I see them from the cliff tops;
    I watch them from the hills.
I see a people who live by themselves,
    set apart from other nations.
