16 »The oracle of him who hears the words of God, knows the knowledge of the Most High, and sees the vision of the Almighty. Falling down, yet having his eyes uncovered.
17 »I see him, but not now! I behold him, but not near! A star shall come forth from Jacob. A scepter shall rise from Israel and shall crush through the forehead of Moab. It will tear down all the sons of Sheth.
18 »Edom shall be a possession. Seir, its enemies, also will be a possession. This while Israel performs valiantly.
19 »One from Jacob will have dominion and will destroy the remnant from the city.«
20 He looked at Amalek and continued his discourse. He said: Amalek was the first of the nations but he will end in destruction.
21 And he looked at the Kenite and continued his discourse. He said: »Your dwelling place is enduring and your nest is set in the cliff.
22 »Nevertheless Kain will be consumed! How long will Asshur keep you captive?«
23 He again offered his discourse and said: »Alas, who can live except God ordain it?
24 »Ships will come from the coast of Kittim. They will afflict Asshur and will afflict Eber. They will also come to destruction.«
