¹⁷ I see him but not now;
    I behold him but not near—
a star shall come out of Jacob,
    and a scepter shall rise out of Israel;
it shall crush the foreheads^[a] of Moab
    and the heads^[b] of all the Shethites.^(A)

⁷ Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine;
    Ephraim is my helmet;
    Judah is my scepter.^(A)

11 A shoot shall come out from the stump of Jesse,
    and a branch shall grow^[a] out of his roots.^(A)
