17 I see him, but not now; I behold him, but not near. A star will come forth from Jacob, and a scepter will arise from Israel. He will crush the skulls of Moab and strike down all the sons of Sheth. 18 Edom will become a possession, as will Seir, his enemy; but Israel will perform with valor. 19 A ruler will come from Jacob and destroy the survivors of the city.” 20 Then Balaam saw Amalek and lifted up an oracle, saying: “Amalek was first among the nations, but his end is destruction.” 21 Next he saw the Kenites and lifted up an oracle, saying: “Your dwelling place is secure, and your nest is set in a cliff. 22 Yet Kain will be destroyed when Asshur takes you captive.” 23 Once more Balaam lifted up an oracle, saying: “Ah, who can live unless God has ordained it? 24 Ships will come from the coasts of Cyprus; they will subdue Asshur and Eber, but they too will perish forever.” 25 Then Balaam arose and returned to his homeland, and Balak also went on his way.
