11Return to thy place. I had determined indeed greatly to honour thee, but the Lord hath deprived thee of the honour designed for thee.
12Balaam made answer to Balac: Did I not say to thy messengers, whom thou sentest to me:
13If Balac would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the word of the Lord my God, to utter any thing of my own head either good or evil: but whatsoever the Lord shall say, that I will speak?
14But yet going to my people, I will give thee counsel, what this people shall do to thy people in the latter days.
15Therefore taking up his parable, again he said: Balaam the son of Beor hath said: The man whose eye is stopped up, hath said:
16The hearer of the words of God hath said, who knoweth the doctrine of the Highest, and seeth the visions of the Almighty, who falling hath his eyes opened:
17I shall see him, but not now: I shall behold him, but not near. A STAR SHALL RISE out of Jacob and a sceptre shall spring up from Israel: and shall strike the chiefs of Moab, and shall waste all the children of Seth.
18And he shall possess Idumea: the inheritance of Seir shall come to their enemies, but Israel shall do manfully.
19Out of Jacob shall he come that shall rule, and shall destroy the remains of the city.
20And when he saw Amalec, he took up his parable, and said: Amalec the beginning of nations, whose latter ends shall be destroyed.
21He saw also the Cinite: and took up his parable, and said: Thy habitation indeed is strong: but though thou build thy nest in a rock,
22And thou be chosen of the stock of Cin, how long shalt thou be able to continue? For Assur shall take thee captive.
23And taking up his parable, again he said: Alas, who shall live when God shall do these things?
24They shall come in galleys from Italy, they shall overcome the Assyrians, and shall waste the Hebrews, and at the last they themselves also shall perish.
25And Balaam rose, and returned to his place: Balac also returned the way that he came.
