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.
21. And he saw the Kenites, and took up his parable, and said, Firm is thy dwelling-place, and thy nest fixed in the rock;
22. But the Kenite shall be consumed, until Asshur shall carry thee away captive.
