Numbers 24:14-24
14And now, behold, I am going to my people. Come, I will let you know what this people will do to your people in the latter days."
15And he took up his discourse and said, "The oracle of Balaam the son of Beor, the oracle of the man whose eye is opened,
16the oracle of him who hears the words of God, and knows the knowledge of the Most High, who sees the vision of the Almighty, falling down with his eyes uncovered:
17I see him, but not now; I behold him, but not near: a star shall come out of Jacob, and a scepter shall rise out of Israel; it shall crush the forehead of Moab and break down all the sons of Sheth.
18Edom shall be dispossessed; Seir also, his enemies, shall be dispossessed. Israel is doing valiantly.
19And one from Jacob shall exercise dominion and destroy the survivors of cities!"
20Then he looked on Amalek and took up his discourse and said, "Amalek was the first among the nations, but its end is utter destruction."
21And he looked on the Kenite, and took up his discourse and said, "Enduring is your dwelling place, and your nest is set in the rock.
22Nevertheless, Kain shall be burned when Asshur takes you away captive."
23And he took up his discourse and said, "Alas, who shall live when God does this?
24But ships shall come from Kittim and shall afflict Asshur and Eber; and he too shall come to utter destruction."
