- the oracle of one who hears the words of God, who has knowledge from the Most High, who sees a vision from the Almighty, who falls prostrate, and whose eyes are opened:
- "I see him, but not now; I behold him, but not near. A star will come out of Jacob; a scepter will rise out of Israel. He will crush the foreheads of Moab, the skulls of all the sons of Sheth.
- Edom will be conquered; Seir, his enemy, will be conquered, but Israel will grow strong.
- A ruler will come out of Jacob and destroy the survivors of the city."
- Then Balaam saw Amalek and uttered his oracle: "Amalek was first among the nations, but he will come to ruin at last."

- 得听神的言语,明白至高者的意旨,看见全能者的异象,眼目睁开而仆倒的人说,
- 我看他却不在现时。我望他却不在近日。有星要出于雅各,有杖要兴于以色列,必打破摩押的四角,毁坏扰乱之子。
- 他必得以东为基业,又得仇敌之地西珥为产业。以色列必行事勇敢。
- 有一位出于雅各的,必掌大权。他要除灭城中的馀民。
- 巴兰观看亚玛力,就题起诗歌说,亚玛力原为诸国之首,但他终必沉沦。
