Numbers 24:14-24

14And now behold, I go to my people: come, I will admonish thee what this people will do to thy people at the end of days.

15And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor saith, and the man of opened eye saith,

16He saith, who heareth the words of 1God, who knoweth the knowledge of the Most High, Who seeth the vision of the Almighty, who falleth down, and who hath his eyes open:

17I shall see him, but not now; I shall behold him, but not nigh: There cometh a Star out of Jacob, and a Sceptre shall rise out of Israel, and he shall cut in pieces the corners of Moab, and destroy all the sons of tumult.

18And Edom shall be a possession, and Seir a possession, — they, his enemies; but Israel will do valiantly.

19And one out of Jacob shall have dominion, and will destroy out of the city what remaineth.

20And he saw Amalek, and took up his parable, and said, Amalek is the first of the nations, but his latter end shall be for destruction.

21And he saw the Kenites, and took up his parable, and said, Firm is thy dwelling-place, and thy nest fixed in the rock;

22But the Kenite shall be consumed, until Asshur shall carry thee away captive.

23And he took up his parable, and said, Alas! Who shall live when 2God doeth this?

24And ships shall come from the coast of Chittim, and afflict Asshur, and afflict Eber, and he also shall be for destruction.
