Numbers 24:20-25
Legacy Standard Bible
20 Then he looked at Amalek and took up his discourse and said,
21 Then he looked at the (B)Kenite and took up his discourse and said,
“Your habitation is enduring,
And your nest is set in the cliff.
22 Nevertheless Kain will be consumed;
How long will (C)Asshur [b]keep you captive?”
23 Then he took up his discourse and said,
“Woe, who can live except when God has ordained it?
24 But ships shall come from the coast of (D)Kittim,
And they shall afflict Asshur and will afflict (E)Eber;
(F)So they also will come to destruction.”
25 Then Balaam arose and went and returned to (G)his place, and Balak also went his way.

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.
