“Balak the king of Moab has brought me from Aram,
From the mountains of the east.
b‘Come, curse Jacob for me,
And come, cdenounce Israel!’
And how shall I denounce whom the Lord has not denounced?
And from the hills I behold him;
There! aA people dwelling alone,
bNot reckoning itself among the nations.
Or number one-fourth of Israel?
Let me die bthe death of the righteous,
And let my end be like his!”
