15 He raised his voice and made his address:

“The oracle of Balaam, Beor’s son,
the oracle of a man whose eye is open.
16     The oracle of one who hears God’s speech,
    and understands the Most High’s[a] knowledge,
    who perceives the Almighty’s[b] visions,
    who falls down with eyes uncovered.
17 I see him, but not now;
    I look at him, but not nearby.
A star comes from Jacob;
    a scepter arises from Israel,
        smashing Moab’s forehead,
        the head of all the Sethites.
18 Edom will become a possession,
    Seir a possession of its enemies.
    But Israel acts powerfully.
19 Someone from Jacob will rule
    and destroy the survivors from Ir.”
