5. Mosebok 23,7

5 Men Herren din Gud lyttet ikke til Bileam, men vendte forbannelsen til en velsignelse for deg, fordi Herren din Gud elsker deg.

6 Du skal ikke søke deres fred eller velstand alle dine dager.

Forakt ikke en edomitt, for de er dine slektninger. Forakt ikke en egypter, fordi du var en fremmed i deres land.

8 Den tredje generasjonen av deres barn født til dem kan komme inn i Herrens forsamling.

9 Når du setter opp leir mot dine fiender, vær på vakt mot noe urent.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
