Numbers 22:4-6
New Living Translation
4 The king of Moab said to the elders of Midian, “This mob will devour everything in sight, like an ox devours grass in the field!”
So Balak, king of Moab, 5 sent messengers to call Balaam son of Beor, who was living in his native land of Pethor[a] near the Euphrates River.[b] His message said:
“Look, a vast horde of people has arrived from Egypt. They cover the face of the earth and are threatening me. 6 Please come and curse these people for me because they are too powerful for me. Then perhaps I will be able to conquer them and drive them from the land. I know that blessings fall on any people you bless, and curses fall on people you curse.”

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.”
