Numbers 24:17–24

17  bI shall see him, but not now:

I shall bbehold him, but not nigh:

There cshall come da Star out of Jacob,

And ea Sceptre shall rise out of Israel,

And shall ||smite the corners of Moab,

And destroy all the children of Sheth.

18  And fEdom shall be a possession,

gSeir 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.

21  And he looked on hthe Kenites, and took up his parable, and said,

Strong is thy dwellingplace,

And thou puttest thy nest in a rock.

22  Nevertheless †the Kenite shall be wasted,

||Until Asshur shall carry thee away captive.

23  And he took up his parable, and said,

Alas, who shall live when God doeth this!

24  And ships shall come from the coast of iChittim,

And shall afflict Asshur, and shall afflict kEber,

And he also lshall perish for ever.
