16 The oracle of him who hears the [a]words of God,
And knows the knowledge of the [b]Most High,
Who beholds the vision of the [c]Almighty,
Falling down, yet having his eyes opened.
17 I see him, but not now;
I behold him, but not near;
A star shall come forth from Jacob,
(A)A scepter shall rise from Israel,
(B)And shall crush through the [d]forehead of Moab,
And [e]tear down all the sons of [f]Sheth.
18 (C)And Edom shall be a possession,
(D)Seir, its enemies, also will be a possession,
While Israel performs valiantly.
