And the LORD opened the mouth of the donkey, and she said unto Balaam, What have I done unto you, that you have smitten me these three times?
But was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb donkey speaking with man's voice restrained the madness of the prophet.
For with God nothing shall be impossible.
And the LORD said unto him, Who has made man's mouth? or who makes the dumb, or deaf, or the seeing, or the blind? have not I the LORD?
For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.
For we know that the whole creation groans and travails in pain together until now.
And Balaam said unto the donkey, Because you have mocked me: I would there were a sword in my hand, for now would I kill you.
