16An affirmation of him who is hearing sayings of God -- And knowing knowledge of the Most High; A vision of the Almighty he seeth, Falling -- and eyes uncovered:
17I see it, but not now; I behold it, but not near; A star hath proceeded from Jacob, And a sceptre hath risen from Israel, And hath smitten corners of Moab, And hath destroyed all sons of Sheth.
18And Edom hath been a possession, And Seir hath been a possession, [for] its enemies, And Israel is doing valiantly;
19And [one] doth rule out of Jacob, And hath destroyed a remnant from Ar.`
20And he seeth Amalek, and taketh up his simile, and saith: `A beginning of the Goyim [is] Amalek; And his latter end -- for ever he perisheth.`
21And he seeth the Kenite, and taketh up his simile, and saith: `Enduring [is] thy dwelling, And setting in a rock thy nest,
22But the Kenite is for a burning; Till when doth Asshur keep thee captive?`
