Numbers 23:8-10

New Century Version

⁸ But God has not cursed them,
    so I cannot curse them.
The Lord has not called down evil on them,
    so I cannot call down evil on them.
⁹ I see them from the top of the mountains;
    I see them from the hills.
I see a people who live alone,
    who think they are different from other nations.
¹⁰ No one can number the many people of Jacob,
    and no one can count a fourth of Israel.
Let me die like good men,
    and let me end up like them!”
