18. And Edom hath been a possession, And Seir hath been a possession, [for] its enemies, And Israel is doing valiantly;
19. And [one] doth rule out of Jacob, And hath destroyed a remnant from Ar.'
20. And he seeth Amalek, and taketh up his simile, and saith: `A beginning of the Goyim [is] Amalek; And his latter end--for ever he perisheth.'
21. And he seeth the Kenite, and taketh up his simile, and saith: `Enduring [is] thy dwelling, And setting in a rock thy nest,
22. But the Kenite is for a burning; Till when doth Asshur keep thee captive?'
23. And he taketh up his simile, and saith: `Alas! who doth live when God doth this?
24. And--ships [are] from the side of Chittim, And they have humbled Asshur, And they have humbled Eber, And it also for ever is perishing.'
