Second letter of Peter 2:16

But he was rebuked for his crime when a mute donkey spoke with a human voice and stopped the prophet's madness.
[At the end of the Israelites' desert wanderings, Balak, king of Moab, tried to persuade the prophet Balaam to curse the Israelites, see Num. 22–24. Balaam's father was named Beor, see Num. 22:5. However, some manuscripts have "Bosor's son" here, a name that means "son of the flesh." It may be that Peter is making a deliberate paraphrase to illustrate how Balaam walked after the flesh and not after the Spirit.]
