“Remember your servants Abraham, Isaac, and Israel ​— ​you swore to them by yourself and declared, ‘I will make your offspring as numerous as the stars of the sky and will give your offspring all this land that I have promised, and they will inherit it forever.’ ”

I see him, but not now;

I perceive him, but not near.

A star will come from Jacob,

and a scepter will arise from Israel.

He will smash the forehead[fn] of Moab

and strike down[fn] all the Shethites.[fn]

“The LORD your God has so multiplied you that today you are as numerous as the stars of the sky.

“Your ancestors went down to Egypt, seventy people in all, and now the LORD your God has made you numerous, like the stars of the sky.

“Though you were as numerous as the stars of the sky, you will be left with only a few people, because you did not obey the LORD your God.

So we continued the work, while half of the men were holding spears from daybreak until the stars came out.

May its morning stars grow dark.

May it wait for daylight but have none;

may it not see the breaking[fn] of dawn.

He commands the sun not to shine

and seals off the stars.

If even the moon does not shine

and the stars are not pure in his sight,

while the morning stars sang together

and all the sons of God shouted for joy?

the moon and stars to rule by night.

His faithful love endures forever.

He counts the number of the stars;

he gives names to all of them.

Praise him, sun and moon;

praise him, all you shining stars.

You said to yourself,

“I will ascend to the heavens;

I will set up my throne

above the stars of God.

I will sit on the mount of the gods’ assembly,

in the remotest parts of the North.[fn]

All[fn] the stars in the sky will dissolve.

The sky will roll up like a scroll,

and its stars will all wither

as leaves wither on the vine,

and foliage on the fig tree.

“I made the earth,

and created humans on it.

It was my hands that stretched out the heavens,

and I commanded everything in them.

We tried to heal Babylon,

but she could not be healed.

Abandon her!

Let each of us go to his own land,

for her judgment extends to the sky

and reaches as far as the clouds.

“ ‘When I snuff you out,

I will cover the heavens

and darken their stars.

I will cover the sun with a cloud,

and the moon will not give its light.

It grew as high as the heavenly army, made some of the army and some of the stars[fn] fall to the earth, and trampled them.

The earth quakes before them;

the sky shakes.

The sun and moon grow dark,

and the stars cease their shining.

“But you have taken up[fn] Sakkuth your king and Kaiwan your star god,[fn] images you have made for yourselves.

Though you seem to soar[fn] like an eagle

and make your nest among the stars,

even from there I will bring you down.

This is the LORD’s declaration.

You have made your merchants

more numerous than the stars of the sky.

The young locust strips[fn] the land

and flies away.
