18 And Edom shall be a possession, Seir also shall be a possession, who were his enemies, while Israel does valiantly.
19 And out of Jacob shall come he who shall have dominion, and shall destroy the remnant from the city.
20 And he looked on Amalek, and took up his oracle, and said, Amalek was the first of the nations, but his latter end shall come to destruction.

24 But ships shall come from the coast of Kittim, and they shall afflict Asshur, and shall afflict Eber, and he also shall come to destruction.
