24And the angel of the Lord stood in the avenues of the vines, a fence being on this side and a fence on that.
25And when the ass saw the angel of God, she thrust herself against the wall, and crushed Balaam's foot against the wall, and he struck her again.
26And the angel of the Lord went farther, and came and stood in a narrow place where it was impossible to turn to the right or the left.
27And when the ass saw the angel of God, she lay down under Balaam; and Balaam was angry, and struck the ass with his staff.
28And God opened the mouth of the ass, and she says to Balaam, What have I done to you, that you have struck me this third time?
29And Balaam said to the ass, Because you have mocked me; and if I had had a sword in my hand, I would now have killed you.
30And the ass says to Balaam, Am not I your ass on which you have ridden since your youth till this day? did I ever do thus to you, utterly disregarding you? and he said, No.
31And God opened the eyes of Balaam, and he sees the angel of the Lord withstanding him in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand, and he stooped down and worshipped on his face.
32And the angel of God said to him, Why have you struck your ass this third time? and, behold, I came out to withstand you, for your way was not seemly before me; and when the ass saw me, she turned away from me this third time.
33And if she had not turned out of the way, surely now, I should have slain you, and should have saved her alive.
34And Balaam said to the angel of the Lord, I have sinned, for I did not know that you were standing opposite in the way to meet me; and now if it shall not be pleasing to you for me to go on, I will return.
