Balaam’s final prophecies

20 Then Balaam looked out over where the Amalek people-group lived, and he prophesied this:

“The Amalek people-group were the greatest nation,

but they will be wiped out.”

21 Then he looked out over the area where the Ken people-group lived, and he prophesied this:

“You think that the place where you live is secure/safe

like a nest that is made in the cliffs [MET],

22 but you will be wiped out

when the army of Assyria conquers you.”

23 Balaam ended his prophecies by saying,

“Also, ◄who can ◄survive/escape► when God does all these things?/no one will be able to ◄survive/escape► when God does all these things!► [RHQ]

24 Ships will come from Cyprus Island,

and the men in those ships will defeat the armies of Assyria and Eber.

But God will get rid of those men, too.”

25 Then Balaam and Balak returned to their homes.
