他曾经因着自己的过犯受了责备：不能说话的驴，竟用人的声音说出话来，制止了这先知的狂妄。

却为自己的过犯受了责备：一头不能说话的驴，竟用人的声音说出话来，拦阻了这先知的狂妄。

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 received a rebuke for his lawlessness: A speechless donkey spoke with a human voice and restrained the prophet’s madness.

but he received a rebuke for his own offense, for a mute donkey, speaking with a human voice, restrained the insanity of the prophet.

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.

So Balaam rose in the morning, saddled his donkey, and went with the princes of Moab.Then God’s anger was aroused because he went, and the Angel of the Lord took His stand in the way as an adversary against him. And he was riding on his donkey, and his two servants were with him.Now the donkey saw the Angel of the Lord standing in the way with His drawn sword in His hand, and the donkey turned aside out of the way and went into the field. So Balaam struck the donkey to turn her back onto the road.Then the Angel of the Lord stood in a narrow path between the vineyards, with a wall on this side and a wall on that side.And when the donkey saw the Angel of the Lord, she pushed herself against the wall and crushed Balaam’s foot against the wall; so he struck her again.Then the Angel of the Lord went further, and stood in a narrow place where there was no way to turn either to the right hand or to the left.And when the donkey saw the Angel of the Lord, she lay down under Balaam; so Balaam’s anger was aroused, and he struck the donkey with his staff.Then the Lord opened the mouth of the donkey, and she said to Balaam,“ What have I done to you, that you have struck me these three times?”And Balaam said to the donkey,“ Because you have abused me. I wish there were a sword in my hand, for now I would kill you!”So the donkey said to Balaam,“ Am I not your donkey on which you have ridden, ever since I became yours, to this day? Was I ever disposed to do this to you?” 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 drawn sword in His hand; and he bowed his head and fell flat on his face.And the Angel of the Lord said to him,“ Why have you struck your donkey these three times? Behold, I have come out to stand against you, because your way is perverse before Me.The donkey saw Me and turned aside from Me these three times. If she had not turned aside from Me, surely I would also have killed you by now, and let her live.”

And I punished them often in every synagogue and compelled them to blaspheme; and being exceedingly enraged against them, I persecuted them even to foreign cities.

Now as he thus made his defense, Festus said with a loud voice,“ Paul, you are beside yourself! Much learning is driving you mad!”But he said,“ I am not mad, most noble Festus, but speak the words of truth and reason.

This is an evil in all that is done under the sun: that one thing happens to all. Truly the hearts of the sons of men are full of evil; madness is in their hearts while they live, and after that they go to the dead.

I applied my heart to know, To search and seek out wisdom and the reason of things, To know the wickedness of folly, Even of foolishness and madness.

Therefore if you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?

The days of punishment have come; The days of recompense have come. Israel knows! The prophet is a fool, The spiritual man is insane, Because of the greatness of your iniquity and great enmity.
