Numbers 23:8-10
New Catholic Bible
8 How shall I curse those whom God has not cursed,
how shall I denounce those whom the Lord has not denounced?[a]
9 From the top of the rocks I see him,
from the hills I behold him.
Behold, a people dwelling alone,
not counted among the nations.
10 Who can count the dust of Jacob,
or number one-fourth of Israel?
Let me die the death of the righteous,
let my end be like his.”
