^17 (A)I see him, but not now;
    I behold him, but not near:
^(B)a star shall come out of Jacob,
    and ^(C)a scepter shall rise out of Israel;
it shall ^(D)crush the forehead^[a] of Moab
    and break down all the sons of Sheth.

¹⁰ The ^(A)scepter shall not depart from Judah,
    nor the ruler's staff ^(B)from between his feet,
until tribute comes to him;^[a]
    and to him shall be the obedience of the peoples.
