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.
