Nevertheless the Kenite shall be wasted, until Asshur shall carry thee away captive.
Balaam's closing prophecy foretold the destruction of Moab, Edom, Amalek, and the Kenites. Within that series the Kenites are placed among the peoples destined to be wasted, their power broken in complete destruction or captivity. Their wasting was to come first, and afterward Asshur would carry them away captive. That same prophecy extends beyond those nations to foretell the final destruction of God's enemies.
