Numbers 24:8-10

New International Version

⁸ “God brought them out of Egypt;
    they have the strength of a wild ox.
They devour hostile nations
    and break their bones in pieces;^(A)
    with their arrows they pierce them.^(B)
9 Like a lion they crouch and lie down,
    like a lioness^(C)—who dares to rouse them?

“May those who bless you be blessed^(D)
    and those who curse you be cursed!”^(E)
