Numbers 22:9-12

9And God came to Balaam and said, “Who are these men with you?”

10Balaam said to God, “Balak son of Zippor, king of Moab, has sent a message to me, saying,

11“Look, a nation has come out of Egypt, and it covers the face of the earth. Come now and put a curse on them for me; perhaps I will be able to defeat them and drive them out.”

12But God said to Balaam, “You must not go with them; you must not curse the people, for they are blessed.”
