Numbers 24:16-18

New Living Translation

¹⁶ the message of one who hears the words of God,
    who has knowledge from the Most High,
who sees a vision from the Almighty,
    who bows down with eyes wide open:
¹⁷ I see him, but not here and now.
    I perceive him, but far in the distant future.
A star will rise from Jacob;
    a scepter will emerge from Israel.
It will crush the heads of Moab’s people,
    cracking the skulls^[a] of the people of Sheth.
¹⁸ Edom will be taken over,
    and Seir, its enemy, will be conquered,
    while Israel marches on in triumph.
