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,
         And tear down all the sons of Sheth.

18“Edom shall be a possession,
         Seir, its enemies, also will be a possession,
         While Israel performs valiantly.

19“One from Jacob shall have dominion,
         And will destroy the remnant from the city.”

      20And he looked at Amalek and took up his discourse and said,
         “Amalek was the first of the nations,
         But his end shall be destruction.”

      21And he looked at the Kenite, and took up his discourse and 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?”

      23Then he took up his discourse and said,
         “Alas, who can live except God has ordained it?

24“But ships shall come from the coast of Kittim,
         And they shall afflict Asshur and will afflict Eber;
         So they also will come to destruction.”

      25Then Balaam arose and departed and returned to his place, and Balak also went his way.
