TSK · Numbers 23:4

And God came unto Balaam, and said, What men are these with thee?

And Balaam said unto Balak, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven bullocks and seven rams.

Wherefore have we fasted, [say they], and thou seest not? [wherefore] have we afflicted our soul, and thou takest no knowledge? Behold, in the day of your fast ye find [your own] pleasure, and exact all your labors.

I fast twice in the week; I give tithes of all that I get.

Where then is the glorying? It is excluded. By what manner of law? of works? Nay: but by a law of faith.
