18 Edom(A) will be conquered;
Seir,(B) his enemy, will be conquered,(C)
but Israel(D) will grow strong.
19 A ruler will come out of Jacob(E)
and destroy the survivors of the city.”

“Amalek was first among the nations,
but their end will be utter destruction.”(G)
Balaam’s Sixth Message

“Your dwelling place is secure,(I)
your nest is set in a rock;
22 yet you Kenites will be destroyed
when Ashur(J) takes you captive.”
Balaam’s Seventh Message
23 Then he spoke his message:
“Alas! Who can live when God does this?[a]
24 Ships will come from the shores of Cyprus;(K)
they will subdue Ashur(L) and Eber,(M)
but they too will come to ruin.(N)”
25 Then Balaam(O) got up and returned home, and Balak went his own way.
