16 The utterance of him who hears the words of God,
And has the knowledge of the Most High,
Who sees the vision of the Almighty,
Who falls down, with eyes wide open:

17 “I(A) see Him, but not now;
I behold Him, but not near;
(B)A Star shall come out of Jacob;
(C)A Scepter shall rise out of Israel,
And [a]batter the brow of Moab,
And destroy all the sons of [b]tumult.

18 “And (D)Edom shall be a possession;
Seir also, his enemies, shall be a possession,
While Israel does [c]valiantly.
