Numbers 23:8-10

Good News Translation

⁸ How can I curse what God has not cursed,
Or speak of doom when the Lord has not?
⁹ From the high rocks I can see them;
I can watch them from the hills.
They are a nation that lives alone;
They know they are blessed more than other nations.
¹⁰ The descendants of Israel are like the dust—
There are too many of them to be counted.
Let me end my days like one of God's people;
Let me die in peace like the righteous.”
