King James Version
"But was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb ass speaking with man’s voice forbad the madness of the prophet."
— 2 Peter 2:16, King James Version
“but he was rebuked for his own transgression: a dumb ass spake with man’s voice and stayed the madness of the prophet. ”
“but he was rebuked for his own disobedience. A mute donkey spoke with a man's voice and stopped 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 had a check of his madness, the dumb beast used to the yoke, which, speaking with man's voice, forbade the folly of the prophet.”
“But his wrongdoing was pointed out to him: an ass, talking with a man's voice, put a stop to the error of the prophet.”
“But was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb ass speaking with man’s voice forbad the madness of the prophet.”
And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, as they that count it pleasure to riot in the day time. Spots they are and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you;
Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children:
Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness;
But was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb ass speaking with man’s voice forbad the madness of the prophet.
These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever.
For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error.
While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage.
