昏迷過甚、不受訓誨、故必死亡、

For lack of discipline they will die, led astray by their own great folly.

They will die because they refused to be corrected. Their sins will capture them because they were very foolish.

He dies for lack of discipline, and because of his great folly he is led astray.

He will die for lack of self control; he will be lost because of his great foolishness.

He will die because there is no discipline, and be lost because of his great stupidity.

He will die for lack of instruction, And in the greatness of his foolishness he will go astray.

He shall die for lack of instruction, And in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray.

He shall die for lack of instruction; And in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray.

他們帳棚的橛子一拔出，他們哪有不死去，毫無智慧地死去呢？」

若不聽從，就必過去到陰間，無知無識地氣絕。

義人的嘴脣牧養多人；愚妄人因無心思而早死。

他們既離棄了正直的路，就走迷了，一味隨從比珥的兒子巴蘭的路。巴蘭就是那貪愛不義之工錢的，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！這些人呢、是無水的泉源，是暴風催迫的霧氣，有黑暗的幽冥給他們保留着。他們發出虛妄之膨脹言論，用肉體的私慾和邪蕩餌誘那些僅僅能逃脫在謬妄中過生活者的人。應許他們自由，而自己卻是敗壞之奴僕。因為人被甚麼制勝，就給甚麼做奴僕。倘若他們既因認識我們的主、救主耶穌基督、而逃脫了世俗的染污，又在其中被纏住被制勝着，那麼他們末後的景況就比先前的更壞了。他們認識了正義之路以後，若從所傳授給他們的聖誡上退轉下去，那倒不如沒有認識過好啊。『狗轉過身來，喫自己所嘔吐的』；『豬洗了身，又去污泥裏打滾！』這真實的俗語所說的、已在這些人身上得證實了。

惡人必在他所行的壞事上被推倒；義人必因他的純全而得避難。

我就任憑他們心裏頑強，去隨着他們自己的計謀行。

心偏邪的必飽受所行的之惡果；善人必滿得自己行為的善報。
