15He lifted his proverb and said, "The utterance of Balaam son of Beor and the utterance of the great man whose eye is opened."16The utterance of the one who hears the words of God and who knows the knowledge of the Most High, who sees the vision of the Almighty, falling with eyes revealed.17I see him, but not now; I behold him, but not near. A star has come forth from Jacob, and a staff has risen from Israel. He has struck the sides of Moab and destroyed all the sons of Sheth.18Edom has become his possession, and Seir has become the possession of his enemy, while Israel performs mightily.19One shall rule from Jacob and shall destroy the survivor from the city.
