8 “God brought them out of Egypt.
They are as strong as a wild ox.
They destroy nations at war with them.

May those who curse you be cursed!”
10 Then Balak became very angry with Balaam. He slapped his hands together. He said to Balaam, “I sent for you to put a curse on my enemies. But you have given them a blessing three times.
