KJV ¹⁵ And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor hath said, and the man whose eyes are open hath said:

VULC ¹⁵ Sumpta igitur parabola, rursum ait : [Dixit Balaam filius Beor :
dixit homo, cujus obturatus est oculus :

WLC ¹⁵ וַיִּשָּׂ֥א מְשָׁל֖וֹ וַיֹּאמַ֑ר נְאֻ֤ם בִּלְעָם֙ בְּנ֣וֹ בְעֹ֔ר וּנְאֻ֥ם הַגֶּ֖בֶר שְׁתֻ֥ם הָעָֽיִן׃

KJV ¹⁶ 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:

VULC ¹⁶ dixit auditor sermonum Dei,
qui novit doctrinam Altissimi,
et visiones Omnipotentis videt,
qui cadens apertos habet oculos :

WLC ¹⁶ נְאֻ֗ם שֹׁמֵ֙עַ֙ אִמְרֵי־ אֵ֔ל וְיֹדֵ֖עַ דַּ֣עַת עֶלְי֑וֹן מַחֲזֵ֤ה שַׁדַּי֙ יֶֽחֱזֶ֔ה נֹפֵ֖ל וּגְל֥וּי עֵינָֽיִם׃

KJV ¹⁷ 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.

VULC ¹⁷ Videbo eum, sed non modo :
intuebor illum, sed non prope.
Orietur stella ex Jacob,
et consurget virga de Israël :
et percutiet duces Moab,
vastabitque omnes filios Seth.

WLC ¹⁷ אֶרְאֶ֙נּוּ֙ וְלֹ֣א עַתָּ֔ה אֲשׁוּרֶ֖נּוּ וְלֹ֣א קָר֑וֹב דָּרַ֨ךְ כּוֹכָ֜ב מִֽיַּעֲקֹ֗ב וְקָ֥ם שֵׁ֙בֶט֙ מִיִּשְׂרָאֵ֔ל וּמָחַץ֙ פַּאֲתֵ֣י מוֹאָ֔ב וְקַרְקַ֖ר כָּל־ בְּנֵי־ שֵֽׁת׃

KJV ¹⁸ And Edom shall be a possession, Seir also shall be a possession for his enemies; and Israel shall do valiantly.

VULC ¹⁸ Et erit Idumæa possessio ejus :
hæreditas Seir cedet inimicis suis :
Israël vero fortiter aget.

WLC ¹⁸ וְהָיָ֨ה אֱד֜וֹם יְרֵשָׁ֗ה וְהָיָ֧ה יְרֵשָׁ֛ה שֵׂעִ֖יר אֹיְבָ֑יו וְיִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל עֹ֥שֶׂה חָֽיִל׃

KJV ¹⁹ Out of Jacob shall come he that shall have dominion, and shall destroy him that remaineth of the city.

VULC ¹⁹ De Jacob erit qui dominetur,
et perdat reliquias civitatis.]

WLC ¹⁹ וְיֵ֖רְדְּ מִֽיַּעֲקֹ֑ב וְהֶֽאֱבִ֥יד שָׂרִ֖יד מֵעִֽיר׃

KJV ²⁰ 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.

VULC ²⁰ Cumque vidisset Amalec, assumens parabolam, ait : [Principium gentium Amalec,
cujus extrema perdentur.]

WLC ²⁰ וַיַּרְא֙ אֶת־ עֲמָלֵ֔ק וַיִּשָּׂ֥א מְשָׁל֖וֹ וַיֹּאמַ֑ר רֵאשִׁ֤ית גּוֹיִם֙ עֲמָלֵ֔ק וְאַחֲרִית֖וֹ עֲדֵ֥י אֹבֵֽד׃

KJV ²¹ 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.

VULC ²¹ Vidit quoque Cinæum : et assumpta parabola, ait : [Robustum quidem est habitaculum tuum :
sed si in petra posueris nidum tuum,

WLC ²¹ וַיַּרְא֙ אֶת־ הַקֵּינִ֔י וַיִּשָּׂ֥א מְשָׁל֖וֹ וַיֹּאמַ֑ר אֵיתָן֙ מֽוֹשָׁבֶ֔ךָ וְשִׂ֥ים בַּסֶּ֖לַע קִנֶּֽךָ׃

KJV ²² Nevertheless the Kenite shall be wasted, until Asshur shall carry thee away captive.

VULC ²² et fueris electus de stirpe Cin,
quamdiu poteris permanere ? Assur enim capiet te.]

WLC ²² כִּ֥י אִם־ יִהְיֶ֖ה לְבָ֣עֵֽר קָ֑יִן עַד־ מָ֖ה אַשּׁ֥וּר תִּשְׁבֶּֽךָּ׃

KJV ²³ And he took up his parable, and said, Alas, who shall live when God doeth this!

VULC ²³ Assumptaque parabola iterum locutus est : [Heu ! quis victurus est,
quando ista faciet Deus ?

WLC ²³ וַיִּשָּׂ֥א מְשָׁל֖וֹ וַיֹּאמַ֑ר א֕וֹי מִ֥י יִחְיֶ֖ה מִשֻּׂמ֥וֹ אֵֽל׃

KJV ²⁴ And ships shall come from the coast of Chittim, and shall afflict Asshur, and shall afflict Eber, and he also shall perish for ever.

VULC ²⁴ Venient in trieribus de Italia :
superabunt Assyrios, vastabuntque Hebræos, et ad extremum etiam ipsi peribunt.]

WLC ²⁴ וְצִים֙ מִיַּ֣ד כִּתִּ֔ים וְעִנּ֥וּ אַשּׁ֖וּר וְעִנּוּ־ עֵ֑בֶר וְגַם־ ה֖וּא עֲדֵ֥י אֹבֵֽד׃

KJV ²⁵ And Balaam rose up, and went and returned to his place: and Balak also went his way.

VULC ²⁵ Surrexitque Balaam, et reversus est in locum suum : Balac quoque via, qua venerat, rediit.

WLC ²⁵ וַיָּ֣קָם בִּלְעָ֔ם וַיֵּ֖לֶךְ וַיָּ֣שָׁב לִמְקֹמ֑וֹ וְגַם־ בָּלָ֖ק הָלַ֥ךְ לְדַרְכּֽוֹ׃
