- 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}
