“Amalek was the first among the nations,
    (B)but its end is utter destruction.”

21 And he looked on the Kenite, and took up his discourse and said,

“Enduring is your dwelling place,
    and your nest is set in the rock.
22 Nevertheless, Kain shall be burned
    when Asshur takes you away captive.”

23 And he took up his discourse and said,

“Alas, who shall live when God does this?
24     But ships shall come from (C)Kittim
and shall afflict Asshur and (D)Eber;
    and he too (E)shall come to utter destruction.”

23 He raised his voice
    and made his address:
    “How terrible!
    Who will live when God does this?
24 Ships from Kittim will attack Asshur;
    they will attack Eber,
    and even he will perish forever.”

25 Then Balaam arose, set out, and returned home. Balak also went on his way.
