17  ^sI see him, but not now;

I behold him, but not near:

^ta star shall come out of Jacob,

and ^ua scepter shall rise out of Israel;

it shall ^vcrush the forehead¹ of Moab

and break down all the sons of Sheth.

11  ^fHe shall pass through the sea of troubles

and strike down the waves of the sea,

^gand all the depths of the Nile shall be dried up.

The pride of Assyria shall be laid low,

and ^hthe scepter of Egypt shall depart.
