Numbers 24:17-24

Numbers 24:17-24 NCV

I see someone who will come someday, someone who will come, but not soon. A star will come from Jacob; a ruler will rise from Israel. He will crush the heads of the Moabites and smash the skulls of the sons of Sheth. Edom will be conquered; his enemy Edom will be conquered, but Israel will grow wealthy. A ruler will come from the descendants of Jacob and will destroy those left in the city.” Then Balaam saw Amalek and gave this message: “Amalek was the most important nation, but Amalek will be destroyed at last.” Then Balaam saw the Kenites and gave this message: “Your home is safe, like a nest on a cliff. But you Kenites will be burned up; Assyria will keep you captive.” Then Balaam gave this message: “No one can live when God does this. Ships will sail from the shores of Cyprus and defeat Assyria and Eber, but they will also be destroyed.”
