Numbers 22:29

Contemporary English Version 1995

“You made me look stupid!” Balaam answered. “If I had a sword, I'd kill you here and now!”

“But you're my owner,” answered the donkey, “and you've ridden me many times. Have I ever done anything like this before?” “No,” Balaam admitted.

“I agree to that,” was Laban's response.
