Numbers 24:16-25

¹⁶An affirmation of him who is hearing sayings of God — And knowing knowledge of the Most High; A vision of the Almighty he seeth, Falling — and eyes uncovered:

¹⁷I see it, but not now; I behold it, but not near; A star hath proceeded from Jacob, And a sceptre hath risen from Israel, And hath smitten corners of Moab, And hath destroyed all sons of Sheth.

¹⁸And Edom hath been a possession, And Seir hath been a possession, for its enemies, And Israel is doing valiantly;

¹⁹And one doth rule out of Jacob, And hath destroyed a remnant from Ar.'

²⁰And he seeth Amalek, and taketh up his simile, and saith: 'A beginning of the Goyim is Amalek; And his latter end — for ever he perisheth.'

²¹And he seeth the Kenite, and taketh up his simile, and saith: 'Enduring is thy dwelling, And setting in a rock thy nest,

²²But the Kenite is for a burning; Till when doth Asshur keep thee captive?'

²³And he taketh up his simile, and saith: 'Alas! who doth live when God doth this?

²⁴And — ships are from the side of Chittim, And they have humbled Asshur, And they have humbled Eber, And it also for ever is perishing.'

²⁵And Balaam riseth, and goeth, and turneth back to his place, and Balak also hath gone on his way.
