Numbers 23:7 Context
5And the Lord put a word in Balaams mouth, and said, Returne vnto Balak, & thus thou shalt speake. 6And he returned vnto him, and loe, he stood by his burnt sacrifice, hee, and all the Princes of Moab. 7And he tooke vp his parable, and said, Balak the King of Moab hath brought mee from Aram, out of the mountaines of the East, saying, Come, curse me Iacob, and come, defie Israel. 8How shall I curse, whom God hath not cursed? or how shall I defie, whom the Lord hath not defied? 9For from the top of the rockes I see him, and from the hilles I behold him: loe, the people shall dwell alone, and shall not bee reckoned among the nations.
