Numbers 24:17-24
17I see him, but not now; I behold him, but not near; A star shall come forth from Jacob, 1A scepter shall rise from Israel, 2And shall crush through the 3forehead of Moab, And 4tear down all the sons of 5Sheth.186Edom shall be a possession, 7Seir, its enemies, also will be a possession, While Israel performs valiantly.19One from Jacob shall have dominion, And will destroy the remnant from the city.”
20And he looked at Amalek and took up his discourse and said, “Amalek was the first of the nations, 8But his end shall be 9destruction.”
21And he looked at the 10Kenite, and took up his discourse and said, “Your dwelling place is enduring, And your nest is set in the cliff.22Nevertheless Kain will be consumed; How long will 11Asshur 12keep you captive?”
23Then he took up his discourse and said, “Alas, who can live except God has ordained it?24But ships shall come from the coast of 13Kittim, And they shall afflict Asshur and will afflict 14Eber; 15So they also will come to destruction.”
