Numbers 24:15-24 Common English Bible (CEB)

15. He raised his voice and made his address:"The oracle of Balaam, Beor’s son,the oracle of a man whose eye is open.

16. The oracle of one who hears God’s speech,and understands the Most High’s knowledge,who perceives the Almighty’s visions,who falls down with eyes uncovered.

17. I see him, but not now;I look at him, but not nearby.A star comes from Jacob;a scepter arises from Israel,smashing Moab’s forehead,the head of all the Sethites.

18. Edom will become a possession,Seir a possession of its enemies.But Israel acts powerfully.

19. Someone from Jacob will ruleand destroy the survivors from Ir."

20. He looked at Amalekand raised his voiceand gave his address:"Amalek is foremost among the nations,but its end is to perish forever."

21. He looked at the Kenitesand raised his voiceand gave his address:"Your dwelling is secure;your nest is set in the rock.

22. Yet Kain will burnwhen Asshur takes you away captive."

23. He raised his voiceand made his address:"How terrible!Who will live when God does this?

24. Ships from Kittim will attack Asshur;they will attack Eber,and even he will perish forever."
