Numbers 23:8-10

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁸ How can I curse whom God has not cursed?
    How can I denounce those whom the Lord has not denounced?
⁹ For from the top of the crags I see him,
    from the hills I behold him.
Here is a people living alone,
    and not reckoning itself among the nations!
¹⁰ Who can count the dust of Jacob,
    or number the dust-cloud^[a] of Israel?
Let me die the death of the upright,
    and let my end be like his!”
