Numbers 24:16-24

¹⁶the prophecy of one who hears the words of God,

who has knowledge from the Most High,

who sees a vision from the Almighty,

who bows down with eyes wide open:

¹⁷I see him, but not now;

I behold him, but not near.

A star will come forth from Jacob,

and a scepter will arise from Israel.

He will crush the skulls of Moab

and strike down all the sons of Sheth.

¹⁸Edom will become a possession,

as will Seir, his enemy;

but Israel will perform with valor.

¹⁹A ruler will come from Jacob

and destroy the survivors of the city.”

²⁰Then Balaam saw Amalek and lifted up an oracle, saying:

“Amalek was first among the nations,

but his end is destruction.”

²¹Next he saw the Kenites and lifted up an oracle, saying:

“Your dwelling place is secure,

and your nest is set in a cliff.

²²Yet Kain will be destroyed

when Asshur takes you captive.”

²³Once more Balaam lifted up an oracle, saying:

“Ah, who can live

unless God has ordained it?

²⁴Ships will come from the coasts of Cyprus;

they will subdue Asshur and Eber,

but they too will perish forever.”
