I shall see him:
The Targum of Onkelos translates this passage in the following manner: "I shall see him, but not now; I shall behold him, but he is not near. When a king shall arise from the house of Jacob, and the Messiah be anointed from the house of Israel; he shall slay the princes of Moab, and rule over all the children of men." The marginal references will direct the reader to the fulfilment of these remarkable prophecies.

Whom¹ I¹ shall seeª° for myself, and mine eyesª shall behold,ª° and not¹ another;ª° [though] my reinsª be consumedª° withinª me." {Job 19:25-27} + "And I will pourª° upon¹ the houseª of David,ª and upon¹ the inhabitantsª° of Jerusalem,ª the spiritª of graceª and of supplications:ª and they shall lookª° upon¹ me¹ whom¹ they have pierced,ª° and they shall mourn²¹ for¹ him, as one mourneth²°¹ for¹ [his] onlyª [son], and shall be in bitternessª° for¹ him, as one that is in bitternessª° for¹ [his] firstborn.ª" {Zch 12:10} + "Woeª unto them!ª forª they have goneª° in the¹ wayª of Cain,ª andª ran greedily afterª° the¹ errorª of Balaamª for reward,ª andª perishedª° in the¹ gainsayingª of Core.ª" {Jde 1:11} + "Andª Enochª also,ª the seventhª fromª Adam,ª prophesiedª° of these,ª saying,ª° Behold,ª° the Lordª comethª° withª ten thousandsª of his²¹ saints,ª ...
