15 Then taking up his parable, he said, Balaam son of Beor saith; It is the saying of a man who is a true seer,
16 Who heareth the oracles of God, And hath knowledge from the Most High; Who in sleep hath seen a vision of God, and whose eyes were opened.
17 I can point to him, though he is not now; I hail him happy tho" he is not near. A star will arise out of Jacob; There shall rise up a man out of Israel, And he will smite the princes of Moab, And plunder all the sons of Seth:
18 And Edom shall be an inheritance, And Esau, his enemy, shall be a heritage. Though Israel hath done valiantly;
19 Yet one shall be raised up out of Jacob, Who will destroy him who escaped from a city.
20 Then having taken a view of Amalek he took up his parable and said, Amalek is the head of nations; But their seed shall be destroyed.
21 Then having taken a view of the Kenite, he took up his parable and said, Strong is thy dwelling place. But though thou hast built thy nest upon a rock;
22 And though Beor hath crafty chickens; The Assyrians will captivate thee.
23 Then looking at Og he took up his parable and said, Oh! Who can live when God will order such things!
24 For bands of Kitians will issue forth, And afflict Assur, and afflict Hebrews: And they themselves shall likewise be destroyed.
