⁵ And the LORD put a word in Balaam’s mouth and said, Return unto Balak, and thus thou shalt speak.

⁶ And he returned unto him, and, behold, he stood by his burnt sacrifice, he and all the princes of Moab.

⁷ And he took up his parable and said, Balak, the king of Moab, has brought me from Aram, out of the mountains of the east, saying, Come, curse me Jacob and come, denounce Israel.
