Come now therefore, I pray you, curse for me this people; for they are too mighty for me: perhaps I shall prevail, that we may strike them, and that I may drive them out of the land: for I know that he whom you bless is blessed, and he whom you curse is cursed.
And Balak said to him, Come, I pray you, with me to another place, from which you may see them: you shall see but the farthest part of them, and shall not see them all: and curse them for me from there.
