Numbers 24:17-24 (New Revised Standard)
17
I see him, but not now; I behold him, but not near— a star shall come out of Jacob, and a scepter shall rise out of Israel; it shall crush the borderlands a of Moab, and the territory b of all the Shethites.
18
Edom will become a possession, Seir a possession of its enemies, c while Israel does valiantly.
19
One out of Jacob shall rule, and destroy the survivors of Ir."
20
Then he looked on Amalek, and uttered his oracle, saying: "First among the nations was Amalek, but its end is to perish forever."
21
Then he looked on the Kenite, and uttered his oracle, saying: "Enduring is your dwelling place, and your nest is set in the rock;
22
yet Kain is destined for burning. How long shall Asshur take you away captive?"
23
Again he uttered his oracle, saying: "Alas, who shall live when God does this?
24
But ships shall come from Kittim and shall afflict Asshur and Eber; and he also shall perish forever."
