17I see him, but not now: looking on him, but not near: a star will come out of Jacob, and a rod of authority out of Israel, sending destruction to the farthest limits of Moab and on the head of all the sons of Sheth.
18Edom will be his heritage, and he will put an end to the last of the people of Seir.
19And Israel will go on in strength, and Jacob will have rule over his haters.
20Then, turning his eyes to Amalek, he went on with his story and said, Amalek was the first of the nations, but his part will be destruction for ever.
21And looking on the Kenites he went on with his story and said, Strong is your living-place, and your secret place is safe in the rock.
22But still the Kenites will be wasted, till Asshur takes you away prisoner.
23Then he went on with his story and said, But who may keep his life when God does this?
