Bible verse
So he returned to Balak, who was standing there beside his burnt offering, with all the princes of Moab.
Numbers 23:6 · BSB
The verses around it, from Numbers 23.
2 So Balak did as Balaam had instructed, and Balak and Balaam offered a bull and a ram on each altar.
3 “Stay here by your burnt offering while I am gone,” Balaam said to Balak. “Perhaps the LORD will meet with me. And whatever He reveals to me, I will tell you.” So Balaam went off to a barren height,
4 and God met with him. “I have set up seven altars,” Balaam said, “and on each altar I have offered a bull and a ram.”
5 Then the LORD put a message in Balaam’s mouth, saying, “Return to Balak and give him this message.”
6 So he returned to Balak, who was standing there beside his burnt offering, with all the princes of Moab.
7 And Balaam lifted up an oracle, saying: “Balak brought me from Aram, the king of Moab from the mountains of the east. ‘Come,’ he said, ‘put a curse on Jacob for me; come and denounce Israel!’
8 How can I curse what God has not cursed? How can I denounce what the LORD has not denounced?
9 For I see them from atop the rocky cliffs, and I watch them from the hills. Behold, a people dwelling apart, not reckoning themselves among the nations.
10 Who can count the dust of Jacob or number even a fourth of Israel? Let me die the death of the righteous; let my end be like theirs!”
