"Andª the¹ Kingª shall answerª° and sayª° unto them,ª Verilyª I sayª° unto you,ª Inasmuch² asª¹ ye have doneª° [it] unto oneª of the¹ leastª of theseª myª brethren,ª ye have doneª° [it] unto me.ª" {Mtt 25:40}
hired Balaam:
"And Moabª was sore² afraidª°¹ ofª¹ the people,ª because¹ they¹ [were] many:ª and Moabª was distressedª° because¹¹ of² the childrenª of Israel.ª ... 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 22:3-6} + "Then Balakª the sonª of Zippor,ª kingª of Moab,ª aroseª° and warredª° against Israel,ª and sentª° and calledª° Balaamª the sonª of Beorª to curseª° you: ... But I wouldª° not¹ hearkenª° unto Balaam;ª therefore he blessedª° you still:²° so I deliveredª° you out of his hand.ª¹" {Jsh 24:9-10}
our God:
"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° ... And Balakª saidª° unto¹ Balaam,ª What¹ hast thou doneª° unto me? I tookª° thee to curseª° mine enemies,ª° and, behold,¹ thou hast blessed²° [them] altogether.ª°" {Num 23:8-11} + "And he took upª° his parable,ª and said,ª° Rise up,ª° Balak,ª and hear;ª° hearkenª° unto¹ me, thou sonª of Zippor:ª" {Num 23:18} + "How¹ goodlyª° are thy tents,ª O Jacob,ª [and] thy tabernacles,ª O Israel!ª ... 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 24:5-10} + "Nevertheless the LORDª thy Godª wouldª° not¹ hearkenª° unto¹ Balaam;ª but the LORDª thy Godª turnedª°¹ the curseª into a blessingª unto thee, because¹ the LORDª thy Godª lovedª° thee." {Deu 23:5} + "Let them¹ curse,ª° but blessª° thou:¹ when they arise,ª° let them be ashamed;ª° but let thy servantª rejoice.ª°" {Psa 109:28} + "O my people,ª rememberª° now¹ what¹ Balakª kingª of Moabª consulted,ª° and what¹ Balaamª the sonª of Beorª answeredª° him from¹ Shittimª unto¹ Gilgal;ª that¹ ye may knowª° the righteousnessª of the LORD.ª" {Mic 6:5}
