15 Then he took up his discourse and said,

(A)The declaration of Balaam the son of Beor,
And the declaration of the man whose eye is opened,
16 The declaration of him who hears the [a]words of God,
And knows the knowledge of the [b]Most High,
Who sees the vision of [c]the Almighty,
Falling down, yet having his eyes uncovered:
17 I see him, but not now;
I look at him, but not near;
A star shall appear from Jacob,
(B)A scepter shall rise from Israel,
(C)And shall smash the [d]forehead of Moab,
And overcome all the sons of Sheth.
