In Context

15 having left the straight way they have gone astray, having followed in the path of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the reward of unrighteousness;

16 but had reproof of his own wickedness the dumb ass speaking with man's voice forbad the folly of the prophet.

17 These are springs without water, and mists driven by storm, to whom the gloom of darkness is reserved for ever.
