Numbers 22:4-6
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
4 And Moab said to the elders of Midian, Now will this multitude lick up all that is round about us, as the ox licks up the grass of the field. So Balak son of Zippor, the king of the Moabites at that time,
5 Sent messengers to Balaam [a foreteller of events] son of Beor at Pethor, which is by the [Euphrates] River, even to the land of the children of his people, to say to him, There is a people come out from Egypt; behold, they cover the face of the earth and they have settled down and dwell opposite me.
6 Now come, I beg of you, curse this people for me, for they are too powerful for me. Perhaps I may be able to defeat them and drive them out of the land, for I know that he whom you bless is blessed, and he whom you curse is cursed.

Numbers 22:4-6
New International Version
4 The Moabites(A) said to the elders of Midian,(B) “This horde is going to lick up everything(C) around us, as an ox licks up the grass of the field.(D)”
So Balak son of Zippor, who was king of Moab at that time, 5 sent messengers to summon Balaam son of Beor,(E) who was at Pethor, near the Euphrates River,(F) in his native land. Balak said:
“A people has come out of Egypt;(G) they cover the face of the land and have settled next to me. 6 Now come and put a curse(H) on these people, because they are too powerful for me. Perhaps then I will be able to defeat them and drive them out of the land.(I) For I know that whoever you bless is blessed, and whoever you curse is cursed.”
