Numbers 22:5-6
New American Standard Bible
5 So he sent messengers to (A)Balaam the son of Beor, at (B)Pethor, which is near the Euphrates River, in the land of the sons of his people, to call for him, saying, “Behold, a people came out of Egypt; behold, they have covered the surface of the land, and they are living opposite me. 6 (C)Now, therefore, please come, (D)curse this people for me since they are too [a]mighty for me; perhaps I will be able to [b]defeat them and drive them out of the land. For I know that he whom you bless is blessed, and he whom you curse is cursed.”

Numbers 22:5-6
New International Version
5 sent messengers to summon Balaam son of Beor,(A) who was at Pethor, near the Euphrates River,(B) in his native land. Balak said:
“A people has come out of Egypt;(C) they cover the face of the land and have settled next to me. 6 Now come and put a curse(D) on these people, because they are too powerful for me. Perhaps then I will be able to defeat them and drive them out of the land.(E) For I know that whoever you bless is blessed, and whoever you curse is cursed.”
