Numbers 24:17

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

¹⁷I see him, but not now;
    I behold him, but not near—
a star shall come out of Jacob,
    and a sceptre shall rise out of Israel;
it shall crush the borderlands^[a] of Moab,
    and the territory^[b] of all the Shethites.
