Numbers 23:9 in Context — Numbers 23

7 E ele tomou sua parábola, e disse: De Arã me trouxe Balaque, rei de Moabe, dos montes do oriente: Vem, amaldiçoa para mim a Jacó; E vem, condena a Israel.

8 Por que amaldiçoarei eu ao que Deus não amaldiçoou? E por que condenarei ao que o SENHOR não condenou?

9 Porque do cume das penhas o verei, E desde as colinas o olharei: Eis aqui um povo que habitará confiante, e não será contado entre as nações.

10 Quem contará o pó de Jacó, Ou o número da quarta parte de Israel? Morra minha pessoa da morte dos corretos, E meu fim seja como o seu.

11 Então Balaque disse a Balaão: Que me fizeste? Tomei-te para que amaldiçoes a meus inimigos, e eis que proferiste bênçãos.
