Numbers 24:10-20 Darby Translation 1890 (DARBY)

10. Then Balak's anger was kindled against Balaam, and he smote his hands together; and Balak said to Balaam, I called thee to curse mine enemies, and behold, thou hast altogether blessed them these three times!

11. And now flee thou to thy place; I said I would very highly honour thee, and behold, Jehovah has kept thee back from honour.

12. And Balaam said to Balak, Did I not also speak to thy messengers whom thou sentest to me, saying,

13. If Balak gave me his house full of silver and gold, I could not go beyond the commandment of Jehovah to do good or bad out of my heart: what Jehovah shall say, that will I speak?

14. And now behold, I go to my people: come, I will admonish thee what this people will do to thy people at the end of days.

15. And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor saith, and the man of opened eye saith,

16. He saith, who heareth the words of ·God who knoweth the knowledge of the Most High, Who seeth the vision of the Almighty, who falleth down, and who hath his eyes open:

17. I shall see him, but not now; I shall behold him, but not nigh: There cometh a Star out of Jacob, and a Sceptre shall rise out of Israel, and he shall cut in pieces the corners of Moab, and destroy all the sons of tumult.

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.
