21 Balaam vit les Kéniens. Il prononça son oracle, et dit: Ta demeure est solide, Et ton nid posé sur le roc.

22 Mais le Kénien sera chassé, Quand l’Assyrien t’emmènera captif.

23 Balaam prononça son oracle, et dit: Hélas! Qui vivra après que Dieu l’aura établi?

24 Mais des navires viendront de Kittim, Ils humilieront l’Assyrien, ils humilieront l’Hébreu; Et lui aussi sera détruit.

25 Balaam se leva, partit, et retourna chez lui. Balak s’en alla aussi de son côté.
