    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.'

    33The 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.'

    34Balaam said to the angel of the LORD, 'I have sinned. I did not realize you were standing in the road to oppose me. Now if you are displeased, I will go back.'

    35The angel of the LORD said to Balaam, 'Go with the men, but speak only what I tell you.' So Balaam went with Balak's officials.

    36When Balak heard that Balaam was coming, he went out to meet him at the Moabite city on the Arnon border, at the edge of his territory.
