Read down to the center, where the pattern turns; then rise back out through its mirror.

  • A 7 Balak the king of Moab hath brought me from Aram, out of the mountains of the east, saying,
    • B 7 Come, curse me Jacob, and come, defy Israel.
      • C 8 How shall I curse, whom God hath not cursed? or how shall I defy, whom the LORD hath not defied?
        • D 9 For from the top of the rocks I see him, and from the hills I behold him:
      • C' 9 lo, the people shall dwell alone, and shall not be reckoned among the nations.
    • B' 10 Who can count the dust of Jacob, and the number of the fourth part of Israel?
  • A' 10 Let me die the death of the righteous, and let my last end be like his.
