5 Then the Lord aput a word in Balaam’s mouth, and said, “Return to Balak, and thus you shall speak.”
6 So he returned to him, and there he was, standing by his burnt offering, he and all the princes of Moab.
7 And he atook up his oracle and said:
“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!’
“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!’
8 “Howa shall I curse whom God has not cursed?
And how shall I denounce whom the Lord has not denounced?
And how shall I denounce whom the Lord has not denounced?
9 For from the top of the rocks I see him,
And from the hills I behold him;
There! aA people dwelling alone,
bNot reckoning itself among the nations.
And from the hills I behold him;
There! aA people dwelling alone,
bNot reckoning itself among the nations.
10 “Whoa can count the dust of Jacob,
Or number one-fourth of Israel?
Let me die bthe death of the righteous,
And let my end be like his!”
Or number one-fourth of Israel?
Let me die bthe death of the righteous,
And let my end be like his!”
