Numbers 24:12-24

¹²Then Balaam answered Balak, Tolde I not also thy messengers, which thou sentest vnto me, saying,

¹³If Balak would giue me his house ful of siluer and gold, I can not passe the commandement of the Lord, to doe either good or bad of mine owne minde? what the Lord shall commaund, the same will I speake.

¹⁴And nowe behold, I goe vnto my people: come, I will aduertise thee what this people shall doe to thy folke in the later dayes.

¹⁵And he vttered his parable, and sayd, Balaam the sonne of Beor hath sayde, and the man whose eyes were shut vp, hath sayd,

¹⁶He hath said that heard the words of God, and hath the knowledge of the most High, and sawe the vision of the Almightie, and falling in a traunce had his eyes opened:

¹⁷I shall see him, but not nowe: I shall behold him, but not neere: there shall come a starre of Iaakob, and a scepter shall rise of Israel, and shall smite the coastes of Moab, and destroy all the sonnes of Sheth.

¹⁸And Edom shalbe possessed, and Seir shall be a possession to their enemies: but Israel shall do valiantly.

¹⁹He also that shall haue dominion shall bee of Iaakob, and shall destroy the remnant of the citie.

²⁰And when he looked on Amalek, he vttered his parable, and sayd, Amalek was the first of the nations: but his latter ende shall come to destruction.

²¹And he looked on the Kenites, and vttered his parable, and sayde, Strong is thy dwelling place, and put thy nest in the rocke.

²²Neuerthelesse, the Kenite shalbe spoyled vntill Asshur cary thee away captiue.

²³Againe he vttered his parable, and sayd, Alas, who shall liue when God doeth this?

²⁴The ships also shall come from the coastes of Chittim, and subdue Asshur, and shall subdue Eber, and he also shall come to destruction.
