14 Yes, I shall return now to my own people. But first, let me tell you what the Israelites are going to do to your people!”

15-19 So he spoke this prophecy to him:

“Balaam the son of Beor is the man

Whose eyes are open!

He hears the words of God

And has knowledge from the Most High;

He sees what Almighty God has shown him;

He fell, and his eyes were opened:

I see in the future of Israel,

Far down the distant trail,

That there shall come a star from Jacob!

This ruler of Israel

Shall smite the people of Moab,

And destroy the sons of Sheth.

Israel shall possess all Edom and Seir.

They shall overcome their enemies.

Jacob shall arise in power

And shall destroy many cities.”
