New International Version
Numbers 24:14-24
14Now I am going back to my people, but come, let me warn you of what this people will do to your people in days to come.”
15Then he spoke his message: “The prophecy of Balaam son of Beor, the prophecy of one whose eye sees clearly,
16the prophecy of one who hears the words of God, who has knowledge from the Most High, who sees a vision from the Almighty, who falls prostrate, and whose eyes are opened:
17“I see him, but not now; I behold him, but not near. A star will come out of Jacob; a scepter will rise out of Israel. He will crush the foreheads of Moab, the skulls of all the people of Sheth.
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.”
20Then Balaam saw Amalek and spoke his message: “Amalek was first among the nations, but their end will be utter destruction.”
21Then he saw the Kenites and spoke his message: “Your dwelling place is secure, your nest is set in a rock;
22yet you Kenites will be destroyed when Ashur takes you captive.”
23Then he spoke his message: “Alas! Who can live when God does this?
24Ships will come from the shores of Cyprus; they will subdue Ashur and Eber, but they too will come to ruin.”
