Numbers 24:15-19
Lexham English Bible
15 And he uttered[a] his oracle and said,
“The declaration of Balaam son of Beor,
and the declaration of the man whose eye is closed,
16 the declaration of the hearer of God’s words,[b]
and the knower of the knowledge of the Most High,
who sees the vision of Shaddai,[c]
who is falling, and his eyes are revealed.
17 I see him, but not now;
I behold him, but not near;
a star will go out from Jacob,
and a scepter will rise from Israel;
it will crush the foreheads of Moab
and destroy all the children of Seth.
18 Edom will be a captive;
Seir, its enemies, will be a captive,
and Israel will be acting courageously.[d]
19 Someone[e] from Jacob will rule
and will destroy a remnant[f] from the city.”
