Numbers 23:8-12

“How am I to put a curse on him upon whom God has not put a curse? And how am I to curse him whom the Lord has not cursed?

“For I see him from the top of the rocks, And I look at him from the hills; Behold, a people that lives in isolation, And does not consider itself to be among the nations.

“Who has counted the dust of Jacob, Or the number of the fourth part of Israel? May I die the death of the upright, And may my end be like his!”

Then Balak said to Balaam, “What have you done to me? I took you to put a curse on my enemies, but behold, you have actually blessed them!”

He replied, “Must I not be careful to speak what the Lord puts in my mouth?”
