Parallel
Nehemiah 13:2
Clementine Vulgate · Berean Standard Bible
eo quod non occurrerint filiis Israël cum pane et aqua, et conduxerint adversum eos Balaam ad maledicendum eis : et convertit Deus noster maledictionem in benedictionem.
because they had not met the Israelites with food and water, but had hired Balaam to call down a curse against them (although our God had turned the curse into a blessing).
