Numbers 24:20-25
1599 Geneva Bible
20 ¶ And when he looked on Amalek, he uttered his parable, and said, Amalek was the [a]first of the nations: but his latter end shall come to destruction.
21 And he looked on the [b]Kenites, and uttered his parable, and said, Strong is thy dwelling place, and [c]put thy nest in the rock:
22 Nevertheless, [d]the Kenite shall be spoiled, until Asshur carry thee away captive.
23 Again he uttered his parable, and said, Alas, [e]who shall live when God doeth this?
24 The ships also shall come from the coasts of [f]Kittim, and subdue Asshur, and shall subdue Eber, and [g]he also shall come to destruction.
25 Then Balaam rose up, and went and returned to his place: and Balak also went his way.
