Numbers 24:20-25
New Century Version
20 Then Balaam saw Amalek and gave this message:
“Amalek was the most important nation,
but Amalek will be destroyed at last.”
21 Then Balaam saw the Kenites and gave this message:
“Your home is safe,
like a nest on a cliff.
22 But you Kenites will be burned up;
Assyria will keep you captive.”
23 Then Balaam gave this message:
“No one can live when God does this.
24 Ships will sail from the shores of Cyprus
and defeat Assyria and Eber,
but they will also be destroyed.”
25 Then Balaam got up and returned home, and Balak also went on his way.
