Numbers 24:19-22

Living Bible

“Balaam the son of Beor is the man

Whose eyes are open!

He hears the words of God

And has knowledge from the Most High;

He sees what Almighty God has shown him;

He fell, and his eyes were opened:

I see in the future of Israel,

Far down the distant trail,

That there shall come a star from Jacob!

This ruler of Israel

Shall smite the people of Moab,

And destroy the sons of Sheth.

Israel shall possess all Edom and Seir.

They shall overcome their enemies.

Jacob shall arise in power

And shall destroy many cities.”

“Amalek was the first of the nations,

But its destiny is destruction!”

“Yes, you are strongly situated,

Your nest is set in the rocks!

But the Kenites shall be destroyed,

And the mighty army of the king of Assyria shall deport you from this land!”
