16 A declaration from one who hears what God has to say,
    who knows what the Most High knows,
who saw the vision that the Almighty revealed,
    who keeps stumbling with open eyes.

    but from a distance.[a]

A star streams forth from Jacob;

    along with all of Seth’s descendants.
18 Edom will be a conquered nation
    and Seir will be Israel’s[b] defeated foe,
        while Israel performs valiantly.
