他曾經因著自己的過犯受了責備：不能說話的驢，竟用人的聲音說出話來，制止了這先知的狂妄。

卻因自己的違法受了斥責。不能出聲說話的驢竟用人的聲音發出言論來，攔阻那神言人的瘋狂！

卻為自己的過犯受了責備：一頭不能說話的驢，竟用人的聲音說出話來，攔阻了這先知的狂妄。

為己過愆見責、瘖驢作人聲、禁先知之狂妄、

為惡見責、有驢作人言、禁先知巴蘭之狂妄、

為其惡見責、不能言之驢作人聲、而止先知之狂、

因過見懲、曾有驢作人聲斥責先知之狂妄焉。

But he was rebuked for his wrongdoing by a donkey— an animal without speech— who spoke with a human voice and restrained the prophet’s madness.

But a donkey corrected him for the wrong he did. Animals don’t speak. But the donkey spoke with a human voice. It tried to stop the prophet from doing a very dumb thing.

but was rebuked for his own transgression; a speechless donkey spoke with human voice and restrained the prophet’s madness.

But Balaam was stopped from his mad course when his donkey rebuked him with a human voice.

but he was rebuked for his own transgression: a dumb ass spake with man’s voice and stayed the madness of the prophet.

but received a rebuke for his transgression: A donkey that could not talk spoke with a human voice and restrained the prophet’s irrationality.

But was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb ass speaking with man’s voice forbad the madness of the prophet.

yet was rebuked for his own transgression( a dumb donkey, speaking with a human voice, restrained the prophet’s madness).

but he was rebuked for his own disobedience. A mute donkey spoke with a man’s voice and stopped the madness of the prophet.

When he got up in the morning, Balaam saddled his donkey and went with the officials of Moab.But God was incensed that Balaam was going, and the angel of the LORD took his stand on the path to oppose him. Balaam was riding his donkey, and his two servants were with him.When the donkey saw the angel of the LORD standing on the path with a drawn sword in his hand, she turned off the path and went into the field. So Balaam hit her to return her to the path.Then the angel of the LORD stood in a narrow passage between the vineyards, with a stone wall on either side.The donkey saw the angel of the LORD and pressed herself against the wall, squeezing Balaam’s foot against it. So he hit her once again.The angel of the LORD went ahead and stood in a narrow place where there was no room to turn to the right or the left.When the donkey saw the angel of the LORD, she crouched down under Balaam. So he became furious and beat the donkey with his stick.Then the LORD opened the donkey’s mouth, and she asked Balaam,“ What have I done to you that you have beaten me these three times?”Balaam answered the donkey,“ You made me look like a fool. If I had a sword in my hand, I’d kill you now!”But the donkey said,“ Am I not the donkey you’ve ridden all your life until today? Have I ever treated you this way before?”“ No,” he replied.Then the LORD opened Balaam’s eyes, and he saw the angel of the LORD standing in the path with a drawn sword in his hand. Balaam knelt low and bowed in worship on his face.The angel of the LORD asked him,“ Why have you beaten your donkey these three times? Look, I came out to oppose you, because I consider what you are doing to be evil.The donkey saw me and turned away from me these three times. If she had not turned away from me, I would have killed you by now and let her live.”

In all the synagogues I often punished them and tried to make them blaspheme. Since I was terribly enraged at them, I pursued them even to foreign cities.

As he was saying these things in his defense, Festus exclaimed in a loud voice,“ You’re out of your mind, Paul! Too much study is driving you mad.”But Paul replied,“ I’m not out of my mind, most excellent Festus. On the contrary, I’m speaking words of truth and good judgment.

This is an evil in all that is done under the sun: there is one fate for everyone. In addition, the hearts of people are full of evil, and madness is in their hearts while they live; after that they go to the dead.

I turned my thoughts to know, explore, and examine wisdom and an explanation for things, and to know that wickedness is stupidity and folly is madness.

So if you have not been faithful with worldly wealth, who will trust you with what is genuine?

The days of punishment have come; the days of retribution have come. Let Israel recognize it! The prophet is a fool, and the inspired man is insane, because of the magnitude of your iniquity and hostility.
