²⁸ Yahweh 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?

¹⁶ but he was rebuked for his own disobedience. A mute donkey spoke with man's voice and stopped the madness of the prophet.

¹¹ Yahweh said to him, "Who made man's mouth? Or who makes one mute, or deaf, or seeing, or blind? Isn't it I, Yahweh?

³⁷ For everything spoken by God is possible."

²² For we know that the whole creation groans and travails in pain together until now.

¹⁹ For it is written, "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, I will bring the discernment of the discerning to nothing."
