Numbers 24:20-25
Modern English Version
20 Then he looked on Amalek; he took up his proverb and said:
“Amalek was the first of the nations,
but his end will be that he perishes forever.”
21 He looked on the Kenites and took up his proverb and said:
“Strong is your dwelling place,
and you put your nest in a rock;
22 nevertheless the Kenite will be wasted.
How long until Ashur carries you away captive?”
23 He took up his proverb and said:
“Alas, who will live when God does this?
24 And ships will come from the coasts of Cyprus
and will afflict Ashur and will afflict Eber,
and he also will perish forever.”
25 Balaam rose up and went and returned to his place, and Balak also went his way.
