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.
22 But the Kenites will be destroyedwhen Assyria takes you captive.”
23 Balaam concluded his messages by saying:“Alas, who can surviveunless God has willed it?
24 Ships will come from the coasts of Cyprus;they will oppress Assyria and afflict Eber,but they, too, will be utterly destroyed.”
25 Then Balaam left and returned home, and Balak also went on his way.
