5 Yahweh put a word in Balaam's mouth, and said, Return to Balak, and thus you shall speak.
6 He returned to him, and, behold, he was standing by his burnt-offering, he, and all the princes of Moab.
7 He took up his parable, and said, From Aram has Balak brought me, The king of Moab from the mountains of the East: Come, curse me Jacob, Come, defy Israel.
8 How shall I curse, whom God has not cursed? How shall I defy, whom Yahweh has not defied?
9 For from the top of the rocks I see him, From the hills I see him: behold, it is a people that dwells alone, And shall not be reckoned among the nations.
