Numbers 24:11-25

¹¹And now go to thy place. I said, Honouring I would honour thee; but, behold, the Lord hath kept thee back from honour.

¹²But Bileam said to Balak, Did I not also tell the messengers whom thou sentest to me, saying,

¹³If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I have no power to transgress the decree of the Word of the Lord, to do good or evil of my own will; whatsoever the Lord shall sat that will I speak?

¹⁴And now, behold, I go unto my people. Come, I will give thee counsel what thou shouldst do; and will show thee what this people will do unto thy people at the end of the days.

¹⁵And he took up his parable, and said: Bileam, the son of Beor, speaketh, The man who saw the Beautiful speaketh,

¹⁶He speaks who heard the Word from before God, And who knoweth knowledge from the Most High, Who saw the vision of the Almighty, prostrate when he saw.

¹⁷I see him, but not now; I behold him, but not nigh. When a king shall arise out of Jakob, And the Meshiha be anointed from Israel, He will slay the princes of Moab, and reign over all the children of men;

¹⁸And Edom shall be an inheritance, And Seir a possession of his adversaries; But Israel shall prosper in riches.

¹⁹One will descend from the house of Jakob, Who will destroy him that escapeth from the city of the peoples.

²⁰And he looked on the Amalkaah, and took up his parable, and said: Amalek was the beginning of the wars of Israel, But in his end he shall perish forever.

²¹And he beheld the Shalmaah, and took up his parable, and said: Strong is the house of thy dwelling, And in a strong fortress thou hast set thy abode;

²²But yet Shalmaah shall be destroyed, For Athuria will make thee captive.

²³And he took up his parable, and said: Woe to the wicked who may live when God doeth this!

²⁴And ships will come from the Kittaee, And afflict Athur, and subdue beyond the Phrat; But they also shall perish forever.

²⁵And Bileam arose, and went and returned to his place; and Balak also went upon his way.
