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.
