16. An affirmation of him who is hearing sayings of God--And knowing knowledge of the Most High; A vision of the Almighty he seeth, Falling--and eyes uncovered:
17. I see it, but not now; I behold it, but not near; A star hath proceeded from Jacob, And a sceptre hath risen from Israel, And hath smitten corners of Moab, And hath destroyed all sons of Sheth.
18. And Edom hath been a possession, And Seir hath been a possession, [for] its enemies, And Israel is doing valiantly;
19. And [one] doth rule out of Jacob, And hath destroyed a remnant from Ar.'
