Balaam’s Final Prophecies

24:20 Then Balaam40 looked on Amalek and delivered this oracle:41

“Amalek was the first42 of the nations,

but his end will be that he will perish.”

24:21 Then he looked on the Kenites and uttered this oracle:

“Your dwelling place seems strong,

and your nest43 is set on a rocky cliff.

24:22 Nevertheless the Kenite will be consumed.44

How long will Asshur take you away captive?”

24:23 Then he uttered this oracle:

“O, who will survive when God does this!45

24:24 Ships will come from the coast of Kittim,46

and will afflict Asshur,47 and will afflict Eber,

and he will also perish forever.”48

24:25 Balaam got up and departed and returned to his home,49 and Balak also went his way.
