Cyprian, on 2Pet 2:16

Cyprian · c. A.D. 200–258
2Pet 2:16 · Douay-Rheims
“But had a check of his madness, the dumb beast used to the yoke, which speaking with man’s voice, forbade the folly of the prophet.”
On this verse:
“Nor is it difficult for God to open the mouth of a man devoted to Himself, and to inspire constancy and confidence in speech to His confessor; since in the book of Numbers He made even a she-ass to speak against the prophet Balaam.”
