Numbers 24:17
Berean Standard Bible
I see him, but not now; I behold him, but not near. A star will come forth from Jacob, and a scepter will arise from Israel. He will crush the skulls * of Moab and strike down all the sons of Sheth.
Context
15Then Balaam lifted up an oracle, saying,
“This is the prophecy of Balaam son of Beor,
the prophecy of a man whose eyes are open, 16the prophecy 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: 17I see him, but not now;
I behold him, but not near.
A star will come forth from Jacob,
and a scepter will arise from Israel.
He will crush the skulls * of Moab
and strike down all the sons of Sheth. 18Edom will become a possession,
as will Seir, his enemy;
but Israel will perform with valor. 19A ruler will come from Jacob
and destroy the survivors of the city.”
