Fragment xxv. "To Inflict Vengeance from the Lord on Midian. ...
"To inflict vengeance from the Lord on Midian." [4837] For this man (Balaam), when he speaks no longer in the Spirit of God, but contrary to God's law, by setting up a different law with regard to fornication, [4838] is certainly not then to be counted as a prophet, but as a soothsayer. For he who did not keep to the commandment of God, received the just recompense of his own evil devices. [4839]
