23 Then he spoke his message:

“Alas! Who can live when God does this?

23 And he took up his parable, and said,

Alas, who shall live when God doeth this!

23 Balaam concluded his messages by saying:

“Alas, who can survive

unless God has willed it?

23 Then he took up his oracle and said:

“Alas! Who shall live when God does this?

23 Then Balaam gave this message:

“No one can live when God does this.

23 And he took up his parable, and said,

Alas, who shall live when God doeth this?

23 And he took up his parable, and said, Alas! Who shall live when •God doeth this?

23 He delivered this message: 

“Oh no! Who will live when God decides to do this? 

23 Once more he proclaimed his poem:

Ah, who can live when God does this?

23 Again he uttered his oracle, saying:

“Alas, who shall live when God does this?

23 Again he uttered his oracle and said,

“Woe, who will live when God establishes this?

23 Then he spoke the message he had received from God. He said,

“Who can live when God does this?

23 Then he took up his discourse and said,

“Alas, who can live except God has ordained it?
