16. The hearer of the words of God hath said, who knoweth the doctrine of the Highest, and seeth the visions of the Almighty, who falling hath his eyes opened:
17. I shall see him, but not now: I shall behold him, but not near. A STAR SHALL RISE out of Jacob and a sceptre shall spring up from Israel: and shall strike the chiefs of Moab, and shall waste all the children of Seth.
18. And he shall possess Idumea: the inheritance of Seir shall come to their enemies, but Israel shall do manfully
19. Out of Jacob shall he come that shall rule, and shall destroy the remains of the city.
