Numbers 24:23

Numbers 24:23

21 Then 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;

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

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

24 But ships shall come from the coasts of ^aCyprus,
And they shall afflict Asshur and afflict ^bEber,
And so shall¹ Amalek, until he perishes.”

25 So Balaam rose and departed and ^areturned to his place; Balak also went his way.

<< Numbers 24:22

Numbers 24:24 >>

Who shall live - How calamitous and miserable will the state of the world be, when the Assyrian, and after him the Chaldean, shall over - turn all these parts of the world? Who will be able to keep his heart from fainting under such grievous pressures? Nay, how few will escape the destroying sword?
