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.

18  ^wEdom shall be dispossessed;

^xSeir also, his enemies, shall be dispossessed.

Israel is doing valiantly.

19  And one from Jacob shall exercise dominion

and destroy the survivors of cities!”
