Numbers 24:17-24

17I see him, but not now; I look at him, but not near; A star shall appear from Jacob, 1A scepter shall rise from Israel, 2And shall smash the 3forehead of Moab, And overcome all the sons of Sheth.184And Edom shall be a possession, 5Seir, its enemies, also will be a possession, While Israel performs valiantly.19One from Jacob shall rule, And will eliminate the survivors from the city.”

20And he looked at Amalek and took up his discourse and said, “Amalek was the first of the nations, 6But his end shall be 7destruction.”

21And he looked at the 8Kenite, and took up his discourse and said, “Your dwelling place is enduring, And your nest is set in the cliff.22Nevertheless Kain will suffer devastation; How long will 9Asshur 10keep you captive?”

23Then he took up his discourse and said, “Oh, who can live unless God has ordained it?24But ships shall come from the coast of 11Kittim, And they shall oppress Asshur and oppress 12Eber; 13So they also will come to destruction.”
