16 My knowledge comes
from God Most High,
    the Lord All-Powerful.
I bowed down to him
    and saw a vision of Israel.

17 “What I saw in my vision
    hasn't happened yet.
But someday, a king of Israel
    will appear like a star.
He will wipe out you Moabites[a]
and destroy[b] those tribes
    who live in the desert.[c]
18 Israel will conquer Edom
and capture the land
    of that enemy nation.
