    20God came to Balaam that night, and said to him,“If the men have come to call you, get up and go with them, but the word that I will say to you, that you must do.”

    21So Balaam got up in the morning, saddled his donkey, and went with the princes of Moab.

    22God Opposes Balaam Then God’s anger was kindled because he went, and the angel of the LORD stood in the road to oppose him. Now he was riding on his donkey and his two servants were with him.

    23And the donkey saw the angel of the LORD standing in the road with his sword drawn in his hand, so the donkey turned aside from the road and went into the field. But Balaam beat the donkey, to make her turn back to the road.

    24Then the angel of the LORD stood in a path among the vineyards, where there was a wall on either side.

    25And when the donkey saw the angel of the LORD, she pressed herself into the wall, and crushed Balaam’s foot against the wall. So he beat her again.

    26Then the angel of the LORD went farther, and stood in a narrow place, where there was no way to turn either to the right or to the left.

    27When the donkey saw the angel of the LORD, she crouched down under Balaam. Then Balaam was angry, and he beat his donkey with a staff.

    28Then the LORD opened the mouth of the donkey, and she said to Balaam,“What have I done to you that you have beaten me these three times?”

    29And Balaam said to the donkey,“You have made me look stupid; I wish there were a sword in my hand, for I would kill you right now.”

    30The donkey said to Balaam,“Am I not your donkey that you have ridden ever since I was yours until this day? Have I ever attempted to treat you this way?” And he said,“No.”

    31Then the LORD opened Balaam’s eyes, and he saw the angel of the LORD standing in the way with his sword drawn in his hand; so he bowed his head and threw himself down with his face to the ground.

    32The angel of the LORD said to him,“Why have you beaten your donkey these three times? Look, I came out to oppose you because what you are doing is perverse before me.
