    20That 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.'

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

    22But 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.

    23When 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.

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

    25When the donkey saw the angel of the LORD, it pressed close to the wall, crushing Balaam’s foot against it. So he beat the donkey again.

    26Then the angel of the LORD moved on ahead and stood in a narrow place where there was no room to turn, either to the right or to the left.

    27When the donkey saw the angel of the LORD, it lay down under Balaam, and he became very angry and beat it with his staff.

    28Then the LORD opened the donkey's mouth, and it said to Balaam, 'What have I done to you to make you beat me these three times?'

    29Balaam 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.'

    30The 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.

    31Then 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.

    32The 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.'
