Verse 6

Come{H3212} now therefore, I pray thee, curse{H779} me this people;{H5971} for they are too mighty{H6099} for me: peradventure I shall prevail,{H3201} that we may smite{H5221} them, and that I may drive them out{H1644} of the land;{H776} for I know{H3045} that he whom thou blessest{H1288} is blessed,{H1288} and he whom thou cursest{H779} is cursed.{H779}
