Numbers 22:33-35

New International Version

³³ The 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,^(A) but I would have spared it.”

³⁴ Balaam said to the angel of the Lord, “I have sinned.^(B) I did not realize you were standing in the road to oppose me. Now if you are displeased, I will go back.”

³⁵ The 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.
