Journey Through the Bible

Numbers 24:16-24

16 the oracle of one who hears the words of God,
who has knowledge from the Most High,
who sees a vision from the Almighty,
who falls prostrate, and whose eyes are opened:

17 “I see him, but not now;
I behold him, but not near.
A star will come out of Jacob;
a scepter will rise out of Israel.
He will crush the foreheads of Moab,
the skulls of all the sons of Sheth.

18 Edom will be conquered;
Seir, his enemy, will be conquered,
but Israel will grow strong.

19 A ruler will come out of Jacob
and destroy the survivors of the city.”

20 Balaam’s Final Oracles
Then Balaam saw Amalek and uttered his oracle:
“Amalek was first among the nations,
but he will come to ruin at last.”

21 Then he saw the Kenites and uttered his oracle:
“Your dwelling place is secure,
your nest is set in a rock;

22 yet you Kenites will be destroyed
when Asshur takes you captive.”

23 Then he uttered his oracle:
“Ah, who can live when God does this?

24 Ships will come from the shores of Kittim;
they will subdue Asshur and Eber,
but they too will come to ruin.”
