Numbers 24:14-24

14Now, behold, I am going back to my people. Come, let me counsel you what these people will do to your people in the latter days.

15Then he uttered his oracle: The oracle of Balaam son of Beor, the strong man whose eye is opened,

16the oracle of one hearing God’s speech, one experiencing Elyon’s knowledge, one seeing Shaddai’s vision, one fallen down, yet with open eyes:

17‘I see him, yet not at this moment. I behold him, yet not in this location. For a star will come from Jacob, a scepter will arise from Israel. He will crush the foreheads of Moab and the skulls of all the sons of Seth.

18Edom will be conquered— his enemies will conquer Seir, but Israel will triumph.

19One from Jacob will rule and destroy the city’s survivors.”

20Then he saw Amalek, so he uttered his oracle and said: “Amalek was the first of nations, but will come to ruin at last.”

21Then he saw the Kenite, so he uttered his oracle and said, “Your dwelling is secure. Your nest is set in the rock.

22Yet Kain will be destroyed, when Asshur captures you.”

23Again he uttered his oracle and said, “O, who can live when God does this?

24Ships will come from Kittim’s shore. They will afflict Asshur and Eber, but they too will come to destruction.”
