Numbers 24:10-25 - Balaam's Fourth Prophecy

10 Then kindled the anger of Balak against Balaam, and he smote together his hands, - and Balak said unto Balaam - To revile my foes, I called thee, And lo! thou hast kept on blessing, these three times. 11 Now, therefore, flee thou unto thy place, - I said, I will, highly honour, thee; but lo! Yahweh hath kept thee back from honour.

12 And Balaam said unto Balak, - Was it not so that even unto thy messengers whom thou didst send unto m, I spake saying- 13 Though Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, yet could I not go beyond the bidding of Yahweh, to, do good or ill, out of my own heart, - what Yahweh shall speak, that, must I speak? 14 Now, therefore, behold me! going to my own people, - Come now! let me advise thee, what this people shall do unto thy people in the after-part of the days.

15 So he took up his parable and said, - The oracle of Balaam, son of Beer, Yea the oracle of the man, of opened eye; 16 The oracle of one hearing sayings of GOD, And knowing the knowledge of the Most High, - Who the sight of the Almighty, receiveth in vision, Who falleth down but hath unveiled eyes: - 17 I see One, who is not now, I observe One, who is not nigh, - There hath marched forth a Star out of Jacob. And arisen a Sceptre out of Israel, That hath dishonoured the beard of Mesh, Yea the crown of the head of all the tumultuous; 18 So Edom hath become a possession, Yea a possession is Seir to his foes, - But, Israel, is doing valiantly; 19 Yea One wieldeth dominion out of Jacob, - Who hath destroyed the remnant out of the fortress.

20 And, when he saw Amalek, he took up, his parable, and said - The beginning of nations, - Amalek, But his latter end is even to perish.

21 And when he saw the Kenite, he took up hi parable, and said, - Enduring thy dwelling-place, Set thou then in the crag, thy nest; 22 Yet shall it be for destruction, O Kain, - How long shall Assyria hold thee captive?

23 And he took up his parable, and said, - Alas who shall survive its fulfillment by GOD; 24 When, ships, come from the coast of the isles, And humble Assyria, and humble the Hebrew, - And he too, is even to perish?

25 Then Balaam arose, and went and returned unto his place, - and, Balak also, went his way.
