Now he was riding on his donkey, and his two servants were with him. 23 And the donkey saw the angel of the LORD standing in the way, with his sword drawn in his hand, and the donkey turned aside out of the way, and went into the field: and Balaam struck the donkey, to turn her into the way. 24 But the angel of the LORD stood in a path of the vineyards, a wall being on this side and a wall on that side. 25 And when the donkey saw the angel of the LORD, she pressed herself to the wall, and crushed Balaam's foot against the wall: and he struck her again. 26 And the angel of the LORD went further, and stood in a narrow place, where there was no way to turn either to the right or to the left. 27 And when the donkey saw the angel of the LORD, she fell down under Balaam: and Balaam's anger was kindled, and he struck the donkey with a staff. 28 And the LORD opened the mouth of the donkey, and she said to Balaam, What have I done to you, that you have struck me these three times? 29 And Balaam said to the donkey, Because you have mocked me: I wish there were a sword in my hand, for now I would kill you. 30 And the donkey said to Balaam, Am I not your donkey, upon which you have ridden ever since I became yours until this day? Was I ever accustomed to do so to you? And he said, No. 31 Then the LORD opened the eyes of Balaam, and he saw the angel of the LORD standing in the way, with his sword drawn in his hand: and he bowed his head, and fell flat on his face. 32 And the angel of the LORD said to him, Why have you struck your donkey these three times? Look, I went out to withstand you, because your way is perverse before me: 33 And the donkey saw me, and turned away from me these three times: unless she had turned from me, surely now I would have slain you, and saved her alive.
