17  ^bI see him, but not now;

I behold him, but not near:

a ^cstar shall come out of Jacob,

and a ^dscepter shall rise out of Israel;

it shall crush the ^eforehead¹ of Moab

and break down all the sons of Sheth.

18  ^fEdom shall be dispossessed;

^gSeir also, his enemies, shall be dispossessed.

Israel is ^hdoing valiantly.

19  And one from Jacob shall exercise dominion

and destroy the survivors of cities!”
