16 The declaration of him who hears the [a]words of God,
And knows the knowledge of the [b]Most High,
Who sees the vision of [c]the Almighty,
Falling down, yet having his eyes uncovered:
17 I see him, but not now;
I look at him, but not near;
A star shall appear from Jacob,
(A)A scepter shall rise from Israel,
(B)And shall smash the [d]forehead of Moab,
And overcome all the sons of Sheth.
18 (C)And Edom shall be a possession,
(D)Seir, its enemies, also will be a possession,
While Israel performs valiantly.
