04:023:006 And he returned unto him, and, lo, he stood by his burnt
sacrifice, he, and all the princes of Moab.
04:023:007 And he took up his parable, and said, Balak the king of Moab hath brought me from Aram, out of the mountains of the east, saying, Come, curse me Jacob, and come, defy Israel.
04:023:008 How shall I curse, whom God hath not cursed? or how shall I defy, whom the LORD hath not defied?
04:023:009 For from the top of the rocks I see him, and from the hills I
behold him: lo, the people shall dwell alone, and shall not be
reckoned among the nations.
04:023:010 Who can count the dust of Jacob, and the number of the fourth
part of Israel? Let me die the death of the righteous, and let
my last end be like his!
04:023:011 And Balak said unto Balaam, What hast thou done unto me? I
took thee to curse mine enemies, and, behold, thou hast
blessed them altogether.
04:023:012 And he answered and said, Must I not take heed to speak that which the LORD hath put in my mouth?
04:023:013 And Balak said unto him, Come, I pray thee, with me unto another place, from whence thou mayest see them: thou shalt see but the utmost part of them, and shalt not see them all: and curse me them from thence.
04:023:014 And he brought him into the field of Zophim, to the top of Pisgah, and built seven altars, and offered a bullock and a ram on every altar.
04:023:015 And he said unto Balak, Stand here by thy burnt offering,
while I meet the LORD yonder.
