katapi HOME Numbers 24:14-25 - Balaam's final prophecies.  Nu.24.14-25

24 14 And now, behold, I am going to my people; come, I will let you know what this people will do to your people in the latter days." 24 15 And he took up his discourse, and said,

"The oracle of Balaam the son of Beor,
the oracle of the man whose eye is opened,
24 16 the oracle of him who hears the words of God,
and knows the knowledge of the Most High,
who sees the vision of the Almighty,
falling down, but having his eyes uncovered:
24 17 I see him, but not now;
I behold him, but not nigh:
a star shall come forth out of Jacob,
and a scepter shall rise out of Israel;
it shall crush the forehead of Moab,
and break down all the sons of Sheth.
24 18 Edom shall be dispossessed,
Seir also, his enemies, shall be dispossessed,
while Israel does valiantly.
24 19 By Jacob shall dominion be exercised,
and the survivors of cities be destroyed!"

24 20 Then he looked on Amalek, and took up his discourse, and said,

"Amalek was the first of the nations,
but in the end he shall come to destruction."

24 21 And he looked on the Kenite, and took up his discourse, and said,

"Enduring is your dwelling place,
and your nest is set in the rock;
24 22 nevertheless Kain shall be wasted.
How long shall Asshur take you away captive?"

24 23 And he took up his discourse, and said,

"Alas, who shall live when God does this?
24 24 But ships shall come from Kittim
and shall afflict Asshur and Eber;
and he also shall come to destruction."

24 25 Then Balaam rose, and went back to his place; and Balak also went his way.
