Numbers 24:23-25
New King James Version
23 Then he took up his oracle and said:
“Alas! Who shall live when God does this?
24 But ships shall come from the coasts of (A)Cyprus,[a]
And they shall afflict Asshur and afflict (B)Eber,
And so shall [b]Amalek, until he perishes.”
25 So Balaam rose and departed and (C)returned to his place; Balak also went his way.
