15And he took up his parable, and said: The saying of Balaam the son of Beor, and the saying of the man whose eye is opened;
16The saying of him who heareth the words of God, and knoweth the knowledge of the Most High, who seeth the vision of the Almighty, fallen down, yet with opened eyes:
17I see him, but not now; I behold him, but not nigh; there shall step forth a star out of Jacob, and a scepter shall rise out of Israel, and shall smite through the corners of Moab, and break down all the sons of Seth.
18And Edom shall be a possession, Seir also, even his enemies, shall be a possession; while Israel doeth valiantly.
19And out of Jacob shall one have dominion, and shall destroy the remnant from the city.
20And he looked on Amalek, and took up his parable, and said: Amalek was the first of the nations; but his end shall come to destruction.
21And he looked on the Kenite, and took up his parable, and said: Though firm be thy dwelling-place, and though thy nest be set in the rock;
22Nevertheless Kain shall be wasted; How long? Asshur shall carry thee away captive.
