Numbers 23:7-10

7And he tookH5375 upH5375 his discourseH4912 and saidH559, “From 1AramH6307 BalakH1111 has broughtH5148 me, Moab’sH4124 kingH4428 from the mountainsH2022 of the EastH6924, saying, ‘2ComeH1980, declareH779 JacobH3290 cursedH779 for me, And comeH1980, curseH2194 IsraelH3478!’83HowH4100 am I to putH6895 aH6895 curseH6895 on him upon whom GodH410 has not putH6895 aH6895 curseH6895? And howH4100 am I to curseH2194 him whom the LordH3068 has not cursedH2194?9For I seeH7200 him from the topH7218 of the rocksH6697, And I lookH7789 atH7789 him from the hillsH1389; 4BeholdH2005, a peopleH5971 that livesH7931 in isolationH910, And does not considerH2803 itself to be among the nationsH1471.105WhoH4310 has countedH4487 the dustH6083 of JacobH3290, Or the numberH4557 of the fourthH7255 partH7255 of IsraelH3478? 6May 7I dieH4191 the deathH4194 of the uprightH3477, 8And may my endH319 be likeH3644 his!”
