17. ‘I see him, but not now;I behold him, but not near.A star will come out of Jacob;a sceptre will rise out of Israel.He will crush the foreheads of Moab,the skulls of all the people of Sheth.
18. Edom will be conquered;Seir, his enemy, will be conquered,but Israel will grow strong.
19. A ruler will come out of Jacoband destroy the survivors of the city.’
