Numbers 22:10-12

And Balaam said unto God, Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, hath sent unto me, {saying}, Behold, {there is} a people come out of Egypt, which covereth the face of the earth: come now, curse me them; peradventure I shall be able to overcome them, and drive them out. {I shall...: Heb. I shall prevail in fighting against him} And God said unto Balaam, Thou shalt not go with them; thou shalt not curse the people: for they {are} blessed.
