10 Who can number the dust that is Jacob, and who can know the number of the stock of Israel? May my soul die a just death, and may my end be like theirs.'
11 And Balak said to Balaam: 'What is this that you are doing? I called for you, in order to curse my enemies, and to the contrary, you bless them.'
12 He answered him, 'How can I say anything other than what the Lord orders?'
