The King James Version Bible

Numbers 22:10-13

  1. And Balaam said unto God, Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, hath sent unto me, saying,

  2. Behold, there is a people come out of Egypt, which covereth the face of the earth: come now, curse me them; peradventure I shall be able to overcome them, and drive them out.

  3. And God said unto Balaam, Thou shalt not go with them; thou shalt not curse the people: for they are blessed.

  4. And Balaam rose up in the morning, and said unto the princes of Balak, Get you into your land: for the LORD refuseth to give me leave to go with you.
