Numbers 23:7-9

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

Balak brought me from Aram;^(A)
the king of Moab, from the eastern mountains:
‘Come, put a curse on Jacob for me;
come, denounce Israel! ’^(B)
8 How can I curse someone God has not cursed?
How can I denounce someone the Lord has not denounced?
⁹ I see them from the top of rocky cliffs,
and I watch them from the hills.
There is a people living alone;^(C)
it does not consider itself among the nations.
