16. The oracle of one who hears what God says,and knows what the Most High knows,Of one who sees what the Almighty sees,in rapture and with eyes unveiled.
17. I see him, though not now;I observe him, though not near:A star shall advance from Jacob,and a scepter shall rise from Israel,That will crush the brows of Moab,and the skull of all the Sethites,
18. Edom will be dispossessed,and no survivor is left in Seir.Israel will act boldly,
