Numbers 22:29-31

The Message

²⁹ Balaam said, “Because you’ve been playing games with me! If I had a sword I would have killed you by now.”

³⁰ The donkey said to Balaam, “Am I not your trusty donkey on whom you’ve ridden for years right up until now? Have I ever done anything like this to you before? Have I?”

He said, “No.”

³¹ Then God helped Balaam see what was going on: He saw God’s angel blocking the way, brandishing a sword. Balaam fell to the ground, his face in the dirt.
