15. He took up his parable, and said,“Balaam the son of Beor says,the man whose eyes are open says;
16. he says, who hears the words of God,knows the knowledge of the Most High,and who sees the vision of the Almighty,Falling down, and having his eyes open:
17. I see him, but not now.I see him, but not near.A star will come out of Jacob.A sceptre will rise out of Israel,and shall strike through the corners of Moab,and crush all the sons of Sheth.
