Numbers 24:17-19

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

¹⁷I see him but not now;
    I behold him but not near—
a star shall come out of Jacob,
    and a scepter shall rise out of Israel;
it shall crush the foreheads^[a] of Moab
    and the heads^[b] of all the Shethites.^(A)
¹⁸Edom will become a possession,
    Seir a possession of its enemies,
    while Israel does valiantly.^(B)
¹⁹One out of Jacob shall rule
    and destroy the survivors of Ir.”^(C)
