Numbers 24:18-25 ▼

18 And Edom hath been a possession, And Seir hath been a possession, for its enemies, And Israel is doing valiantly;

19 And one doth rule out of Jacob, And hath destroyed a remnant from Ar.'

20 And he seeth Amalek, and taketh up his simile, and saith: 'A beginning of the Goyim is Amalek; And his latter end -- for ever he perisheth.'

21 And he seeth the Kenite, and taketh up his simile, and saith: 'Enduring is thy dwelling, And setting in a rock thy nest,

22 But the Kenite is for a burning; Till when doth Asshur keep thee captive?'

23 And he taketh up his simile, and saith: 'Alas! who doth live when God doth this?

24 And -- ships are from the side of Chittim, And they have humbled Asshur, And they have humbled Eber, And it also for ever is perishing.'

25 And Balaam riseth, and goeth, and turneth back to his place, and Balak also hath gone on his way.
