"And he took upª° his parable,ª and said,ª° Balakª the kingª of Moabª hath broughtª° me from¹ Aram,ª out of the mountainsª¹ of the east,ª [saying], Come,²°¹ curseª° me Jacob,ª and come,²°¹ defyª° Israel.ª ... Howª shall I curse,²°¹ whom Godª hath not¹ cursed?ª° or how¹ shall I defy,ª° [whom] the LORDª hath not¹ defied?ª°" {Num 23:7-8} + "Behold,¹ [there is] a peopleª come outª° of Egypt,ª¹ which coverethª°¹ the faceª of the earth:ª come²°¹ now,¹ curseª° me them; peradventure¹ I shall be ableª° to overcomeª° them, and drive them out.ª°" {Num 22:11} + "For¹ I will promote²° thee unto very² great²° honour,ª°¹ and I will doª° whatsoever¹¹ thou sayestª° unto¹ me: come²°¹ therefore, I pray thee,¹ curseª° me¹ this¹ people.ª" {Num 22:17} + "And Balak'sª angerª was kindledª° against¹ Balaam,ª and he smote²° his hands² together:ª°¹¹ and Balakª saidª° unto¹ Balaam,ª I calledª° thee to curseª° mine enemies,ª° and, behold,¹ thou hast altogether²° blessedª° [them] these¹ threeª times.ª" {Num 24:10} + "As he lovedª° cursing,ª so let it comeª° unto him: as he delightedª° not¹ in blessing,ª so let it be farª° from¹ him. ...
