Oracles Against the Nations

Numbers 24:20-25

Then Balaam saw Amalek and lifted up an oracle, saying: “Amalek was first among the nations, but his end is destruction.”

Next he saw the Kenites and lifted up an oracle, saying: “Your dwelling place is secure, and your nest is set in a cliff.

Yet Kain will be destroyed when Asshur takes you captive.”

Once more Balaam lifted up an oracle, saying: “Ah, who can live unless God has ordained it?

Ships will come from the coasts of Cyprus; they will subdue Asshur and Eber, but they too will perish forever.”

Then Balaam arose and returned to his homeland, and Balak also went on his way.
