Numbers 24:14-21

¹⁴So now, look, I will go back to my people. But first let me warn you what this people will do to your people in the days ahead.”

¹⁵Balaam began this prophecy. He said, “Balaam son of Beor speaks, The man whose eyes are wide open.

¹⁶This is a prophecy of someone who hears words from God, who has knowledge from the Most High, who has visions from the Almighty, Before whom he bows down with open eyes.

¹⁷I see him, but he is not here now. I look at him, but he is not near. A star will come out of Jacob, and a scepter will rise out of Israel. He will shatter Moab's leaders and destroy all the descendants of Seth.

¹⁸Then Edom will become a possession of Israel, and Seir will also become their possession, enemies of Israel, whom Israel will conquer with force.

¹⁹Out of Jacob a king will come who will have dominion, and he will destroy the survivors of their city.”

²⁰Then Balaam looked at Amalek and began his prophecy. He said, “Amalek was once the greatest of nations, but his final end will be destruction.”

²¹Then Balaam looked toward the Kenites and began his prophecy. He said, “The place where you live is strong, and your nest is in the rocks.
