Numbers 24:25

BalaamBalak

23 Once more Balaam lifted up an oracle, saying: “Ah, who can live unless God has ordained it?

24 Ships will come from the coasts of Cyprus; they will subdue Asshur and Eber, but they too will perish forever.”

Then Balaam arose and returned to his homeland, and Balak also went on his way.
