Numbers 24:17-19

New International Reader's Version

¹⁷ “I see him, but I don’t see him now.
    I view him, but he isn’t near.
A star will come from among the people of Jacob.
    A king will rise up out of Israel.
He’ll crush the foreheads of the people of Moab.
    He’ll crush the heads of all the people of Sheth.
¹⁸ He’ll win the battle over Edom.
    He’ll win the battle over his enemy Seir.
    But Israel will grow strong.
¹⁹ A ruler will come from among the people of Jacob.
    He’ll destroy those from the city who are still alive.”
