'Denounce' in the Bible
Balaam proclaimed his poem:Balak brought me from Aram;the king of Moab, from the eastern mountains:“Come, put a curse on Jacob for me;come, denounce Israel!”
How can I curse someone God has not cursed?How can I denounce someone the Lord has not denounced?
Who would denounce his behavior to his face?Who would repay him for what he has done?
Whoever says to the guilty, “You are innocent”—people will curse him, and tribes will denounce him;
Then certain ones said, “Come, let’s make plans against Jeremiah, for instruction will never be lost from the priest, or counsel from the wise, or an oracle from the prophet. Come, let’s denounce him and pay no attention to all his words.”
