Numbers 24:15-19

15This is the message Balaam delivered: “This is the message of Balaam son of Beor, the message of the man whose eyes see clearly,

16the message of one who hears the words of God, who has knowledge from the Most High, who sees a vision from the Almighty, who bows down with eyes wide open:

17I see him, but not here and now. I perceive him, but far in the distant future. A star will rise from Jacob; a scepter will emerge from Israel. It will crush the heads of Moab’s people, cracking the skulls of the people of Sheth.

18Edom will be taken over, and Seir, its enemy, will be conquered, while Israel marches on in triumph.

19A ruler will rise in Jacob who will destroy the survivors of Ir.”
