Numbers 24:17-19

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹⁷     I see him, but not now.
        I behold him, but not near.
        A star will come out of Jacob.
        A scepter will rise up out of Israel.
        It will smash the foreheads of Moab
        and the skulls^[a] of all the people of Sheth.
¹⁸     Edom will lose its territory to others.
        Seir, Israel’s enemy, also will become a possession,
        but Israel will display its power.
¹⁹     One who comes from Jacob will rule,
        and he will destroy the survivors of the city.
