Numbers 24:15-17

Amplified Bible

¹⁵He took up his [fourth] discourse (oracle) and said:

“The oracle of Balaam the son of Beor,
The oracle of the man whose eye is opened,
¹⁶
The oracle of him who hears the words of God
And knows the knowledge of the ^[a]Most High,
Who sees the vision of the ^[b]Almighty,
Falling down, but having his eyes open and uncovered:
¹⁷
“I see Him, but not now;
I behold Him, but not near.
A star shall come forth from [the descendants of] Jacob,
A scepter shall rise out of [the descendants of] Israel
And shall crush the forehead of Moab
And destroy all the sons of Sheth.^(A)
