Numbers 24:20-25
Lexham English Bible
20 And he looked at Amalek, uttered[a] his oracle, and said,
“Amalek is first[b] of the nations,
but his future will be forever ruin.”
21 And he looked at the Kenites,[c] uttered[d] his oracle, and said,
“Steady is your dwelling place;
in the rock is your nest.
22 Nevertheless, the Kenite will be burned;
how long will Asshur keep[e] you captive?”
23 Again he uttered[f] his oracle and said,
“Woe, who will live when God establishes this?[g]
24 The ships will come from the hand of the Kittim,
and they will afflict Asshur and will afflict Eber;
also he will be forever ruin.”
25 Then Balaam got up and went and returned to his place, and Balak also went on his way.
