15. So he took up his oracle and said:“The utterance of Balaam the son of Beor,And the utterance of the man whose eyes are opened;
16. The utterance of him who hears the words of God,And has the knowledge of the Most High,Who sees the vision of the Almighty,Who falls down, with eyes wide open:
17. “I see Him, but not now;I behold Him, but not near;A Star shall come out of Jacob;A Scepter shall rise out of Israel,And batter the brow of Moab,And destroy all the sons of tumult.
18. “And Edom shall be a possession;Seir also, his enemies, shall be a possession,While Israel does valiantly.
19. Out of Jacob One shall have dominion,And destroy the remains of the city.”
20. Then he looked on Amalek, and he took up his oracle and said:“Amalek was first among the nations,But shall be last until he perishes.”
