17 I see him, but not now;
I look at him, but not near;
A star shall appear from Jacob,
(A)A scepter shall rise from Israel,
(B)And shall smash the [a]forehead of Moab,
And overcome all the sons of Sheth.
18 (C)And Edom shall be a possession,
(D)Seir, its enemies, also will be a possession,
While Israel performs valiantly.
19 One from Jacob shall rule,
And will eliminate the survivors from the city.”
