Numbers 24:22

22 But the Kenites will be destroyed when Assyria takes you captive.”

Numbers 24:22 In-Context

20 Then Balaam looked over toward the people of Amalek and delivered this message: “Amalek was the greatest of nations, but its destiny is destruction!”
21 Then he looked over toward the Kenites and delivered this message: “Your home is secure; your nest is set in the rocks.
22 But the Kenites will be destroyed when Assyria takes you captive.”
23 Balaam concluded his messages by saying: “Alas, who can survive unless God has willed it?
24 Ships will come from the coasts of Cyprus ; they will oppress Assyria and afflict Eber, but they, too, will be utterly destroyed.”
