Numbers 24:17-25 ▼

17 I see him, but not now; I behold him, but not near; A star shall come forth from Jacob, A scepter shall rise from Israel, And shall crush through the forehead of Moab, And tear down all the sons of Sheth.

18 And Edom shall be a possession, Seir, its enemies, also will be a possession, While Israel performs valiantly.

19 And one from Jacob shall have dominion, And will make the survivor perish from the city.”

20 Then he looked at Amalek and took up his discourse and said, “Amalek was the first of the nations, But his end shall be destruction.”

21 Then he looked at the Kenite and took up his discourse and said, “Your habitation is enduring, And your nest is set in the cliff.

22 Nevertheless Kain will be consumed; How long will Asshur keep you captive?”

23 Then he took up his discourse and said, “Woe, who can live except when God has ordained it?

24 But ships shall come from the coast of Kittim, And they shall afflict Asshur and will afflict Eber; So they also will come to destruction.”

25 Then Balaam arose and went and returned to his place, and Balak also went his way.
