16 the oracle of him who hears the words of God,
    and knows the knowledge of (A)the Most High,
who sees the vision of the Almighty,
    (B)falling down with his eyes uncovered:
17 (C)I see him, but not now;
    I behold him, but not near:
(D)a star shall come out of Jacob,
    and (E)a scepter shall rise out of Israel;
it shall (F)crush the forehead[a] of Moab
    and break down all the sons of Sheth.
18 (G)Edom shall be dispossessed;
    (H)Seir also, his enemies, shall be dispossessed.
    Israel is doing valiantly.
19 And one from Jacob shall exercise dominion
    and destroy the survivors of cities!”
