    18 But Balaam answered Balak's servants, 'Even if Balak were to give me his house full of silver and gold, I could not go beyond the command of the LORD my God to do anything small or great.'

    19 Now please stay here tonight as well, so that I may find out what else the LORD may say to me.

    20 That night God came to Balaam and said, 'Since these men have come to summon you, go with them. But do only what I tell you.'

    21 Balaam got up in the morning, saddled his donkey, and went with the Moabite officials.

    22 But God was very angry when he went, and the angel of the LORD took his stand in the road to oppose him. Balaam was riding his donkey, and his two servants were with him.

    23 When the donkey saw the angel of the LORD standing in the road with a drawn sword in his hand, it turned off the road into a field. Balaam struck the donkey to make it turn back onto the road.

    24 Then the angel of the LORD stood in a narrow path through the vineyards, with walls on both sides.

    29 Balaam answered the donkey, 'You have made a fool of me! If only I had a sword in my hand, I would kill you right now.'

    30 The donkey said to Balaam, 'Am I not your own donkey, which you have always ridden, to this very day? Have I been in the habit of doing this to you?' 'No,' he replied.

    31 Then the LORD opened Balaam's eyes, and he saw the angel of the LORD standing in the road with his sword drawn. So he bowed low and fell facedown.

    32 The angel of the LORD asked him, 'Why have you beaten your donkey these three times? I have come here to oppose you because your path is a reckless one before me.'

    33 The donkey saw me and turned away from me these three times. If it had not turned away, I would certainly have killed you by now, but I would have spared it.'
