Numbers 24:20-25
Christian Standard Bible
20 Then Balaam saw Amalek and proclaimed his poem:
Amalek was first among the nations,(A)
but his future is destruction.
21 Next he saw the Kenites and proclaimed his poem:
Your dwelling place is enduring;
your nest is set in the cliffs.
22 Kain will be destroyed
when Asshur takes you captive.
23 Once more he proclaimed his poem:
Ah, who can live when God does this?
24 Ships will come from the coast of Kittim;(B)
they will carry out raids against Asshur and Eber,(C)
but they too will come to destruction.
25 Balaam then arose and went back to his homeland, and Balak also went his way.

Numbers 24:20-25
New American Standard Bible
20 And he looked at Amalek and took up his discourse and said,
21 And he looked at the (B)Kenite, and took up his discourse and said,
“Your dwelling place is enduring,
And your nest is set in the cliff.
22 Nevertheless Kain will suffer devastation;
How long will (C)Asshur [b]keep you captive?”
23 Then he took up his discourse and said,
“Oh, who can live unless God has ordained it?
24 But ships shall come from the coast of (D)Kittim,
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.
