Numbers 24:20–21

20 Then Balaam saw Amalek and spoke his message:

“Amalek was first among the nations,

but their end will be utter destruction.”

21 Then he saw the Kenites and spoke his message:

“Your dwelling place is secure,

your nest is set in a rock;

20 And when he looked on Amalek, he took up his parable, and said,

Amalek was the first of the nations;

But his latter end shall be that he perish for ever.

21 And he looked on the Kenites, and took up his parable, and said,

Strong is thy dwellingplace,

And thou puttest thy nest in a rock.

20 Then Balaam looked over toward the people of Amalek and delivered this message:

“Amalek was the greatest of nations,

but its destiny is destruction!”

21 Then he looked over toward the Kenites and delivered this message:

“Your home is secure;

your nest is set in the rocks.

20 Then he looked on Amalek, and he took up his oracle and said:

“Amalek was first among the nations,

But shall be last until he perishes.”

21 Then he looked on the Kenites, and he took up his oracle and said:

“Firm is your dwelling place,

And your nest is set in the rock;

20 Then Balaam saw Amalek and gave this message:

“Amalek was the most important nation,

but Amalek will be destroyed at last.”

21 Then Balaam saw the Kenites and gave this message:

“Your home is safe,

like a nest on a cliff.

20 And he looked on Amalek, and took up his parable, and said,

Amalek was the first of the nations;

But his latter end shall come to destruction.

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

Strong is thy dwelling-place,

And thy nest is set in the rock.

20 And he saw Amalek, and took up his parable, and said, Amalek is the first of the nations, but his latter end shall be for destruction. 21 And he saw the Kenites, and took up his parable, and said, Firm is thy dwelling-place, and thy nest fixed in the rock;

20 Then Balaam saw the Amalekites and delivered this message: 

“Amalek was first among the nations, 

but in the end it will be destroyed.” 

21 Then he saw the Kenites and delivered this message: 

“You have a permanent place to live. 

Your nest is built in a rock. 

20 Then Balaam saw Amalek and proclaimed his poem:

Amalek was first among the nations,

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.

20 Then he looked on Amalek and uttered his oracle, saying,

“First among the nations was Amalek,

but its end is to perish forever.”

21 Then he looked on the Kenite and uttered his oracle, saying,

“Enduring is your dwelling place,

and your nest is set in the rock,

20 And he looked at Amalek, uttered his oracle, and said,

“Amalek is first of the nations,

but his future will be forever ruin.”

21 And he looked at the Kenites, uttered his oracle, and said,

“Steady is your dwelling place;

in the rock is your nest.

20 Then Balaam saw the people of Amalek. He spoke the message he had received from God. He said,

“Amalek was the first nation to attack Israel.

But they will finally be destroyed.”

21 Then he saw the Kenites. He spoke the message he had received from God. He said,

“The place where you live is safe.

Your nest is on a high cliff.

20 And he looked at Amalek and took up his discourse and said,

“Amalek was the first of the nations,

But his end shall be destruction.”

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

“Your dwelling place is enduring,

And your nest is set in the cliff.
