^{12 Ref} But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption;

^{13 Ref} 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;

^{16 Ref} But was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb ass speaking with man's voice forbad the madness of the prophet.
