Fragments from the Lost Writings of Irenaeus · Saint Irenaeus of Lyons
When, in times of old, Balaam spake these things in parables, he was not acknowledged; and now, when Christ has appeared and fulfilled them, He was not believed. Wherefore [Balaam], foreseeing this, and wondering at it, exclaimed, “Alas! alas! who shall live when God brings these things to pass?”
IrFrag 15.1
