Numbers 24:15-24
-
15 And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor hath said, and the man whose eyes are open hath said:
-
16 He hath said, which heard the words of God, and knew the knowledge of the most High, which saw the vision of the Almighty, falling into a trance, but having his eyes open:
-
17 I shall see him, but not now: I shall behold him, but not nigh: there shall come a Star out of Jacob, and a Sceptre shall rise out of Israel, and shall smite the corners of Moab, and destroy all the children of Sheth.
-
18 And Edom shall be a possession, Seir also shall be a possession for his enemies; and Israel shall do valiantly.
-
19 Out of Jacob shall come he that shall have dominion, and shall destroy him that remaineth of the city.
-
20 And when he looked on Amalek, he took up his parable, and said, Amalek was the first of the nations; but his latter end shall be that he perish for ever.
-
21 And he looked on the Kenites, and took up his parable, and said, Strong is thy dwellingplace, and thou puttest thy nest in a rock.
-
22 Nevertheless the Kenite shall be wasted, until Asshur shall carry thee away captive.
-
23 And he took up his parable, and said, Alas, who shall live when God doeth this!
-
24 And ships shall come from the coast of Chittim, and shall afflict Asshur, and shall afflict Eber, and he also shall perish for ever.
