18Edom will be conquered;

Seir, his enemy, will be conquered,

but Israel will grow strong.

19A ruler will come out of Jacob

and destroy the survivors of the city.”

Balaam’s Final Oracles

20Then Balaam saw Amalek and uttered his oracle:

“Amalek was first among the nations,

but he will come to ruin at last.”

21Then he saw the Kenites and uttered his oracle:

“Your dwelling place is secure,

your nest is set in a rock;

22yet you Kenites will be destroyed

when Asshur takes you captive.”

23Then he uttered his oracle:

“Ah, who can live when God does this?^e

24Ships will come from the shores of Kittim;

they will subdue Asshur and Eber,

but they too will come to ruin.”

25Then Balaam got up and returned home and Balak went his own way.
