Balaam’s Fourth Prophecy
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;
“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:
And has the knowledge of the Most High,
Who sees the vision of the Almighty,
Who falls down, with eyes wide open:
17 “Ia see Him, but not now;
I behold Him, but not near;
bA Star shall come out of Jacob;
cA Scepter shall rise out of Israel,
And1 batter the brow of Moab,
And destroy all the sons of1 tumult.
I behold Him, but not near;
bA Star shall come out of Jacob;
cA Scepter shall rise out of Israel,
And1 batter the brow of Moab,
And destroy all the sons of1 tumult.
18 “And aEdom shall be a possession;
Seir also, his enemies, shall be a possession,
While Israel does1 valiantly.
Seir also, his enemies, shall be a possession,
While Israel does1 valiantly.
19 aOut of Jacob One1 shall have dominion,
And destroy the remains of the city.”
And destroy the remains of the city.”
