Numbers 24:15-17

Good News Translation

“The message of Balaam son of Beor,
The words of the man who can see clearly,^[a]
16 Who can hear what God is saying
And receive the knowledge that comes from the Most High.
With staring eyes I see in a trance
A vision from Almighty God.
¹⁷ I look into the future,
And I see the nation of Israel.
A king, like a bright star, will arise in that nation.
Like a comet he will come from Israel.
He will strike the leaders of Moab
And beat down all the people of Seth.^[b]
