Numbers 24:17-24

17“I see Him, but not now; I behold Him, but not near; A Star shall come out of Jacob; A Scepter shall rise out of Israel, And batter the brow of Moab, And destroy all the sons of tumult.

18“And Edom shall be a possession; Seir also, his enemies, shall be a possession, While Israel does valiantly.

19Out of Jacob One shall have dominion, And destroy the remains of the city.”

20Then he looked on Amalek, and he took up his oracle and said: “Amalek was first among the nations, But shall be last until he perishes.”

21Then he looked on the Kenites, and he took up his oracle and said: “Firm is your dwelling place, And your nest is set in the rock;

22Nevertheless Kain shall be burned. How long until Asshur carries you away captive?”

23Then he took up his oracle and said: “Alas! Who shall live when God does this?

24But ships shall come from the coasts of Cyprus, And they shall afflict Asshur and afflict Eber, And so shall Amalek, until he perishes.”
