21. Upon seeing the Kenites, he recited his poem:Though your dwelling is safe,and your nest is set on a cliff;
22. Yet Kain will be destroyedwhen Asshur takes you captive.
23. Upon seeing [the Ishmaelites?] he recited his poem:Alas, who shall survive of Ishmael,
24. to deliver them from the hands of the Kittim?When they have conquered Asshur and conquered Eber,They too shall perish forever.
