Deuteronomy 23:4, Deuteronomy 23:4, Micah 6:5, Joshua 24:9, Micah 6:5

6Come now therefore, I pray thee, curse for me this people; for they are too mighty for me: perhaps I shall prevail, that we may smite them, and that I may drive them out of the land: for I know that he whom thou blessest is blessed, and he whom thou cursest is cursed.
