By Irenæus

Fragment XLV. |And Balaam the son of Beor they slew with the sword.

"And [4889] Balaam the son of Beor they slew with the sword." [4890] For, speaking no longer by the Spirit of God, but setting up another law of fornication contrary to the law of God, [4891] this man shall no longer be reckoned as a prophet, but as a soothsayer. For, as he did not continue in the commandment of God, he received the just reward of his evil devices.
