Come, Curse This People for Me, for They Are Too Mighty for Me

Balaam said to God, Belach the son of Zippur, king of Moab, has sent to me, saying, Behold, a people has come out of Egypt and it covers the face of the earth. Come now, curse this people for me, since they are too mighty for me. Perhaps I shall be able to defeat them and drive them from the land," says Balaam. "I know that he whom you bless is blessed and he whom you curse is cursed", adds God.
