Numbers 24:18-25
New King James Version
18 “And (A)Edom shall be a possession;
Seir also, his enemies, shall be a possession,
While Israel does [a]valiantly.
19 (B)Out of Jacob One [b]shall have dominion,
And destroy the remains of the city.”
20 Then he looked on Amalek, and he took up his oracle and said:
“Amalek was first among the nations,
But shall be last until he perishes.”
21 Then he looked on the Kenites, and he took up his oracle and said:
“Firm is your dwelling place,
And your nest is set in the rock;
22 Nevertheless Kain shall be burned.
How long until Asshur carries you away captive?”
23 Then he took up his oracle and said:
“Alas! Who shall live when God does this?
24 But ships shall come from the coasts of (C)Cyprus,[c]
And they shall afflict Asshur and afflict (D)Eber,
And so shall [d]Amalek, until he perishes.”
25 So Balaam rose and departed and (E)returned to his place; Balak also went his way.
