22 But you Kenites will be destroyed,
    just as the Lord destroyed Cain.
    Assyria will make you prisoners.”

23 Then Balaam said this:

“No one can live when God does this.
24     Ships will come from Cyprus.[a]
They will defeat Assyria and Eber,[b]
    but those ships will also be destroyed.”
