- I called:
- "Come²°¹ now¹ therefore, I pray thee,¹ curseª° me¹ this¹ people;ª for¹ they¹ [are] too mighty² for¹¹ me: peradventure¹ I shall prevail,ª° [that] we may smiteª° them, and [that] I may drive them outª° of¹ the land:ª for¹ I wotª°¹ that he whom¹ thou blessestª° [is] blessed,ª° and he whom¹ thou cursestª° is cursed.ª°" {Num 22:6} + "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 Balakª saidª° unto¹ Balaam,ª What¹ hast thou doneª° unto me?
