3 And I will bless those who bless you, and him that calls down evil upon you I shall curse,+ and all the families of the ground will certainly bless themselves* by means of you.”+
9 Then Baʹlak the son of Zipʹpor,+ the king of Moʹab, got up and went fighting against Israel.+ So he sent and summoned Baʹlaam the son of Beʹor to call down evil upon YOU.+
2 for they had not met the sons of Israel with bread+ and with water,+ but went hiring against them Baʹlaam+ to call down evil upon them.+ However, our God changed the malediction into a benediction.+
