21. Then he saw the Kenites and spoke his message:‘Your dwelling-place is secure,your nest is set in a rock;
22. yet you Kenites will be destroyedwhen Ashur takes you captive.’
23. Then he spoke his message:‘Alas! Who can live when God does this?
24. Ships will come from the shores of Cyprus;they will subdue Ashur and Eber,but they too will come to ruin.’
25. Then Balaam got up and returned home, and Balak went his own way.
