“Amalek was the first of the nations,

22 Nevertheless Kain will suffer devastation;
How long will (C)Asshur [b]keep you captive?”

23 Then he took up his discourse and said,

And they shall oppress Asshur and oppress (E)Eber;
(F)So they also will come to destruction.”

25 Then Balaam arose, and he departed and returned to (G)his place, and Balak also went on his way.
