04:024:014 And now, behold, I go unto my people:
come therefore, and I
will
advertise thee what this people shall do to thy people
in
the
latter days.
04:024:015 And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam
the son of Beor
hath
said, and the man whose eyes are open hath said:
04:024:016 He hath said, which heard the words of
God, and knew the
knowledge
of the most High, which saw the vision of the
Almighty,
falling into a trance, but having his eyes open:
04:024:017 I shall see him, but not now: I shall
behold him, but not
nigh:
there shall come a Star out of Jacob, and a Sceptre
shall
rise out of Israel, and shall smite the corners of
Moab,
and
destroy all the children of Sheth.
04:024:018 And Edom shall be a possession, Seir also
shall be a
possession
for his enemies; and Israel shall do valiantly.
04:024:019 Out of Jacob shall come he that shall have
dominion, and shall
destroy
him that remaineth of the city.
04:024:020 And when he looked on Amalek, he took up
his parable, and
said,
Amalek was the first of the nations; but his latter
end
shall
be that he perish for ever.
04:024:021 And he looked on the Kenites, and took
up his parable, and
said,
Strong is thy dwellingplace, and thou puttest thy nest
in
a rock.
04:024:022 Nevertheless the Kenite shall be wasted,
until Asshur shall
carry
thee away captive.
04:024:023 And he took up his parable, and said, Alas,
who shall live
when
God doeth this!
04:024:024 And ships shall come from the coast of
Chittim, and shall
afflict
Asshur, and shall afflict Eber, and he also shall
perish
for ever.
04:024:025 And Balaam rose up, and went and returned
to his place: and
Balak
also went his way.
04:025:001 And Israel abode in Shittim, and the people
began to commit
whoredom
with the daughters of Moab.
04:025:002 And they called the people unto the sacrifices
of their gods:
and
the people did eat, and bowed down to their gods.
04:025:003 And Israel joined himself unto Baalpeor:
and the anger of the
lord
was kindled against Israel.
04:025:004 And the lord said unto Moses, Take
all the heads of the
people,
and hang them up before the lord against the sun,
that
the
fierce anger of the lord may be turned away from
Israel.
04:025:005 And Moses said unto the judges of Israel,
Slay ye every one
his
men that were joined unto Baalpeor.
