Balaam’s fourth parable, and three more
발람의 넷째 노래와 이어진 세 노래
Numbers 24:15–24: Balaam takes up his parable again: he sees him, but not now, not near; a star will come out of Jacob and a scepter rise out of Israel, and strike Moab; Edom and Seir shall be a possession, and out of Jacob one shall have dominion and destroy the remnant from the city. Looking at Amalek, he says that Amalek was the first of the nations but his latter end is destruction; looking at the Kenite, that his dwelling is strong and his nest set in the rock, yet Kain shall be wasted until Asshur carries him away captive; and he asks who shall live when God does this: ships shall come from the coast of Kittim and afflict Asshur and Eber, and he too shall come to destruction.

15He took up his parable, and said, “Balaam the son of Beor says, the man whose eyes are open says;
16he says, who hears the words of God, knows the knowledge of the Most High, and who sees the vision of the Almighty, falling down, and having his eyes open:
17I see him, but not now. I see him, but not near. A star will come out of Jacob. A scepter will rise out of Israel, and shall strike through the corners of Moab, and crush all the sons of Sheth.
18Edom shall be a possession. Seir, his enemy, also shall be a possession, while Israel does valiantly.
19Out of Jacob shall one have dominion, and shall destroy the remnant from the city.”
20He looked at Amalek, and took up his parable, and said, “Amalek was the first of the nations, but his latter end shall come to destruction.”
21He looked at the Kenite, and took up his parable, and said, “Your dwelling place is strong. Your nest is set in the rock.
22Nevertheless Kain shall be wasted, until Asshur carries you away captive.”
23He took up his parable, and said, “Alas, who shall live when God does this?
24But ships shall come from the coast of Kittim. They shall afflict Asshur, and shall afflict Eber. He also shall come to destruction.”
