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.

So Balaam got up in the morning, saddled his donkey, and went with the princes of Moab.Then God’s anger was kindled because he went, and the angel of the LORD stood in the road to oppose him. Now he was riding on his donkey and his two servants were with him.And the donkey saw the angel of the LORD standing in the road with his sword drawn in his hand, so the donkey turned aside from the road and went into the field. But Balaam beat the donkey, to make her turn back to the road.Then the angel of the LORD stood in a path among the vineyards, where there was a wall on either side.And when the donkey saw the angel of the LORD, she pressed herself into the wall, and crushed Balaam’s foot against the wall. So he beat her again.Then the angel of the LORD went farther, and stood in a narrow place, where there was no way to turn either to the right or to the left.When the donkey saw the angel of the LORD, she crouched down under Balaam. Then Balaam was angry, and he beat his donkey with a staff.Then the LORD opened the mouth of the donkey, and she said to Balaam,“ What have I done to you that you have beaten me these three times?”And Balaam said to the donkey,“ You have made me look stupid; I wish there were a sword in my hand, for I would kill you right now.”The donkey said to Balaam,“ Am not I your donkey that you have ridden ever since I was yours until this day? Have I ever attempted to treat you this way?” And he said,“ No.”Then the LORD opened Balaam’s eyes, and he saw the angel of the LORD standing in the way with his sword drawn in his hand; so he bowed his head and threw himself down with his face to the ground.The angel of the LORD said to him,“ Why have you beaten your donkey these three times? Look, I came out to oppose you because what you are doing is perverse before me.The donkey saw me and turned from me these three times. If she had not turned from me, I would have killed you but saved her alive.”

I punished them often in all the synagogues and tried to force them to blaspheme. Because I was so furiously enraged at them, I went to persecute them even in foreign cities.

As Paul was saying these things in his defense, Festus exclaimed loudly,“ You have lost your mind, Paul! Your great learning is driving you insane!”But Paul replied,“ I have not lost my mind, most excellent Festus, but am speaking true and rational words.

This is the unfortunate fact about everything that happens on earth: the same fate awaits everyone. In addition to this, the hearts of all people are full of evil, and there is folly in their hearts during their lives– then they die.

I tried to understand, examine, and comprehend the role of wisdom in the scheme of things, and to understand the stupidity of wickedness and the insanity of folly.

If then you haven’t been trustworthy in handling worldly wealth, who will entrust you with the true riches?

The time of judgment is about to arrive! The time of retribution is imminent! Let Israel know! The prophet is considered a fool– the inspired man is viewed as a madman– because of the multitude of your sins and your intense animosity.
