Numbers 24:16-25

¹⁶the prophecy of one who hears the words of God, who receives knowledge from the Most High, who sees the vision given by Almighty, who bows down in respect with open eyes.

¹⁷I see him, but this isn't now. I observe him, but this isn't close at hand. In the future a leader like a star will come from Jacob, a ruler with a scepter will come to power from Israel. He will crush the heads of the Moabites, and destroy all the people of Seth.

¹⁸The country of Edom will be conquered, his enemy Seir will be conquered, and the Israelites will be victorious.

¹⁹A ruler from Jacob will come and destroy those left in the city.”

²⁰Balaam turned his attention to the Amalekites and gave this declaration about them, saying, “Amalek was first among the nations, but they will end up being destroyed.”

²¹He turned his attention to the Kenites and gave this declaration about them, saying, “Where you live is safe and secure, like a nest on a cliff-face.

²²But Kain will be burned down when Assyria conquers you.”

²³Then Balaam gave another declaration, saying, “It's a tragedy! Who can survive when God does this?

²⁴Ships will be sent from Cyprus to attack Assyria and Eber, but they too will be permanently destroyed.”

²⁵Then Balaam left and returned to his own country, and Balak left too.
