Numbers 24:20-25
New King James Version
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 (A)Cyprus,[a]
And they shall afflict Asshur and afflict (B)Eber,
And so shall [b]Amalek, until he perishes.”
25 So Balaam rose and departed and (C)returned to his place; Balak also went his way.
