Numbers 24:18–20

18 Edom will be conquered;

Seir, his enemy, will be conquered,

but Israel will grow strong.

19 A ruler will come out of Jacob

and destroy the survivors of the city.”

20 Then Balaam saw Amalek and spoke his message:

“Amalek was first among the nations,

but their end will be utter destruction.”

18 And Edom shall be a possession,

Seir also shall be a possession for his enemies;

And Israel shall do valiantly.

19 Out of Jacob shall come he that shall have dominion,

And shall destroy him that remaineth of the city.

20 And when he looked on Amalek, he took up his parable, and said,

Amalek was the first of the nations;

But his latter end shall be that he perish for ever.

18 Edom will be taken over,

and Seir, its enemy, will be conquered,

while Israel marches on in triumph.

19 A ruler will rise in Jacob

who will destroy the survivors of Ir.”

20 Then Balaam looked over toward the people of Amalek and delivered this message:

“Amalek was the greatest of nations,

but its destiny is destruction!”

18 “And Edom shall be a possession;

Seir also, his enemies, shall be a possession,

While Israel does valiantly.

19 Out of Jacob One shall have dominion,

And destroy the remains of the city.”

20 Then he looked on Amalek, and he took up his oracle and said:

“Amalek was first among the nations,

But shall be last until he perishes.”

18 Edom will be conquered;

his enemy Edom will be conquered,

but Israel will grow wealthy.

19 A ruler will come from the descendants of Jacob

and will destroy those left in the city.”

20 Then Balaam saw Amalek and gave this message:

“Amalek was the most important nation,

but Amalek will be destroyed at last.”

18 And Edom shall be a possession,

Seir also shall be a possession, who were his enemies;

While Israel doeth valiantly.

19 And out of Jacob shall one have dominion,

And shall destroy the remnant from the city.

20 And he looked on Amalek, and took up his parable, and said,

Amalek was the first of the nations;

But his latter end shall come to destruction.

18 And Edom shall be a possession, and Seir a possession, —they, his enemies; but Israel will do valiantly. 19 And one out of Jacob shall have dominion, and will destroy out of the city what remaineth. 20 And he saw Amalek, and took up his parable, and said, Amalek is the first of the nations, but his latter end shall be for destruction.

18 Edom will be conquered, 

and Seir, his enemy, will be conquered. 

So Israel will become wealthy. 

19 He will rule from Jacob 

and destroy whoever is left in their cities.” 

20 Then Balaam saw the Amalekites and delivered this message: 

“Amalek was first among the nations, 

but in the end it will be destroyed.” 

18 Edom will become a possession;

Seir will become a possession of its enemies,

but Israel will be triumphant.

19 One who comes from Jacob will rule;

he will destroy the city’s survivors.

20 Then Balaam saw Amalek and proclaimed his poem:

Amalek was first among the nations,

but his future is destruction.

18 Edom will become a possession,

Seir a possession of its enemies,

while Israel does valiantly.

19 One out of Jacob shall rule

and destroy the survivors of Ir.”

20 Then he looked on Amalek and uttered his oracle, saying,

“First among the nations was Amalek,

but its end is to perish forever.”

18 Edom will be a captive;

Seir, its enemies, will be a captive,

and Israel will be acting courageously.

19 Someone from Jacob will rule

and will destroy a remnant from the city.”

20 And he looked at Amalek, uttered his oracle, and said,

“Amalek is first of the nations,

but his future will be forever ruin.”

18 He’ll win the battle over Edom.

He’ll win the battle over his enemy Seir.

But Israel will grow strong.

19 A ruler will come from among the people of Jacob.

He’ll destroy those from the city who are still alive.”

20 Then Balaam saw the people of Amalek. He spoke the message he had received from God. He said,

“Amalek was the first nation to attack Israel.

But they will finally be destroyed.”

18 “Edom shall be a possession,

Seir, its enemies, also will be a possession,

While Israel performs valiantly.

19 “One from Jacob shall have dominion,

And will destroy the remnant from the city.”

20 And he looked at Amalek and took up his discourse and said,

“Amalek was the first of the nations,

But his end shall be destruction.”
