16     Whose ears hear God-given words,
        who understands the very thoughts of the Most High God,
    And whose eyes see visions from the God of the Mountains.
        I fall down with eyes opened.

17     I see him, but at a later time, I’ll recognize him, even though he is far away.
        A star will come out of Jacob,[a]
    A scepter shall rise out of Israel.
        It will break Moab and tear down the people of Seth.[b]
18     Edom will be its possession, even Seir will belong to its enemies,
        but Israel will have power.
