Numbers 24:15-19
1599 Geneva Bible
15 And he uttered his parable, and said Balaam the son of Beor hath said, and the man whose eyes were shut up hath said,
16 He hath said that heard the words of God, and hath the knowledge of the most High, and saw the vision of the Almighty, and falling in a trance had his eyes opened:
17 I shall see him, but not now: I shall behold him, but not near: there shall come a [a]Star of Jacob, and a Scepter shall rise of Israel and shall smite the [b]coasts of Moab, and destroy all the sons of [c]Sheth.
18 And Edom shall be possessed, and Seir shall be a possession to their enemies: but Israel shall do valiantly.
19 He also that shall have dominion shall be of Jacob, and shall destroy the remnant of the [d]city.
