17 I see him, but not now;
I perceive him, but not near.
A star will come from Jacob,
and a scepter will arise from Israel.(A)
He will smash the forehead[a] of Moab
and strike down[b] all the Shethites.[c]
18 Edom will become a possession;
Seir(B) will become a possession of its enemies,
but Israel will be triumphant.
19 One who comes from Jacob will rule;
he will destroy the city’s survivors.
