Numbers 24:15-17

International Standard Version

“The declaration by Beor’s son Balaam,
    a declaration by the strong, blind man.
¹⁶ A declaration from one who hears what God has to say,
    who knows what the Most High knows,
who saw the vision that the Almighty revealed,
    who keeps stumbling with open eyes.

¹⁷ I can see him,
    but not right now.
I observe him,
    but from a distance.^[b]

A star streams forth from Jacob;
    a scepter arises from Israel.
He will crush Moab’s forehead,
    along with all of Seth’s descendants.
