Balaam prophesied a fourth time

15 So Balaam said this to Balak:

“I, Balaam, son of Beor, am again giving a prophecy,

speaking as a man who sees what will happen in the future clearly speaks.

16 I hear a message from God;

I know things that God, who lives in heaven, has revealed to me.

I see a vision from him who is all-powerful.

My eyes are open as I prostrate myself in front of him.

17 The things that I see in the vision are not going to happen now;

I see things that God will cause to happen in the future.

A man who is a descendant of Jacob will appear like a star [MET];

a king who holds a scepter will be one of the Israeli people.

He will crush the heads of you people of Moab;

he will wipe out the descendants of Seth.

18 The Israelis will occupy Edom,

and they will conquer their enemies who live near Seir Mountain.

The Israeli people will be victorious/strong.

19 A ruler who is a descendant of Jacob will come;

he will get rid of the people who still live in the city where Balaam first met Balak.”
