Rotherham(i)
16 The oracle of one hearing sayings of GOD, And knowing the knowledge of the Most High,––Who, the sight of the Almighty, receiveth in vision, Who falleth down, but hath unveiled eyes:––
17 I see One, who is not now, I observe One, who is not nigh,––There hath marched forth a Star out of Jacob. And arisen a Sceptre out of Israel, That hath dishonoured the beard of Moab, Yea the crown of the head of all the tumultuous;
18 So Edom hath become a possession, Yea a possession is Seir to his foes,––But, Israel, is doing valiantly;
19 Yea One wieldeth dominion out of Jacob,––Who hath destroyed the remnant out of the fortress.
20 And, when he saw Amalek, he took up his parable, and said––The beginning of nations,––Amalek, But, his latter end, is even to perish.
21 And, when he saw the Kenite, he took up his parable, and said,––Enduring, thy dwelling–place, Set thou, then, in the crag, thy nest;
22 Yet shall it be for destruction, O Kain,––How long shall Assyria hold thee captive?
23 And he took up his parable, and said,––Alas! who shall survive its fulfillment by GOD;
24 When, ships, [come] from the coast of the isles, And humble Assyria, and humble the Hebrew,––And he too, is even to perish?
