Numbers 24:16-25

¹⁶the hearer of God’s words said, which knoweth the doctrine of the Highest, and seeth the revelation of Almighty God, which falleth down, and hath open eyes,

¹⁷I shall see him, but not now; I shall behold him, but not nigh; a star shall be born of Jacob, and a rod shall rise of Israel; and he shall smite the dukes of Moab, and he shall waste all the sons of Seth;

¹⁸and Idumea shall be his possession, the heritage of Seir shall befall to his enemies; soothly Israel shall do strongly,

¹⁹of Jacob shall be he that shall be lord, and shall lose the relics, or remnants, of the city.

²⁰And when he had seen Amalek, he took a parable, and said, Amalek is the beginning of heathen men, whose last things shall be lost.

²¹Also he saw Kenites, and when a parable was taken, he said, Soothly thy dwelling place is strong, but if thou shalt set thy nest in a stone,

²²and shalt be chosen of the generation of Kenites, how long shalt thou be able to dwell? soothly Assur shall take thee.

²³And when a parable was taken, or showed to him, he said again, Alas! who shall live, when the Lord shall do these things?

²⁴They shall come in great ships from Italy, they shall overcome Assyria, and they shall destroy Eber, and at the last also they themselves shall perish.

²⁵And Balaam rose, and turned again into his place; and Balak went again by the way in which he came.
