Numbers 24:15-19

15Then he took up his discourse and said, “1The declaration of Balaam the son of Beor, And the declaration of the man whose eye is opened,16The declaration of him who hears the 2words of God, And knows the knowledge of the 3Most High, Who sees the vision of 4the Almighty, Falling down, yet having his eyes uncovered:17I see him, but not now; I look at him, but not near; A star shall appear from Jacob, 5A scepter shall rise from Israel, 6And shall smash the 7forehead of Moab, And overcome all the sons of Sheth.188And Edom shall be a possession, 9Seir, its enemies, also will be a possession, While Israel performs valiantly.19One from Jacob shall rule, And will eliminate the survivors from the city.”
