Numbers 22:32-34

Revised Geneva Translation

³² And the Angel of the LORD said to him, “Why have you now struck your donkey three times? Behold, I came out to oppose you because your way is not straight before me.

³³ “But the donkey saw me and has turned from me now three times. Otherwise, if she had not turned from me, I would surely have killed you already and saved her life.”

³⁴ Then Balaam said to the Angel of the LORD, “I have sinned. For I wish that you did not stand in the way against me. Now, therefore, if it displeases you, I will turn home again.”
