15 So he uttered his oracle, saying:
The oracle of Balaam son of Beor,
the oracle of the man whose eye is clear,*
16 the oracle of one who hears the words of God,
and knows the knowledge of the Most High,*
who sees the vision of the Almighty,*
who falls down, but with his eyes uncovered:
17 I see him, but not now;
I behold him, but not near
a star shall come out of Jacob,
and a sceptre shall rise out of Israel;
it shall crush the borderlands* of Moab,
and the territory* of all the Shethites.
18 Edom will become a possession,
Seir a possession of its enemies,*
while Israel does valiantly.
19 One out of Jacob shall rule,
and destroy the survivors of Ir.
