The LORD’s angel went further, and stood in a narrow place, where there was no way to turn either to the right hand or to the left.
The donkey saw the LORD’s angel, and she lay down under Balaam.
Balaam’s anger burned, and he struck the donkey with his staff.
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?”
Balaam said to the donkey, “Because you have mocked me, I wish there were a sword in my hand, for now I would have killed you.”
