And the LORD opened the mouth of the ass, and she said unto Balaam, What have I done unto thee, that thou hast smitten me these three times?
but was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb ass speaking with man's voice forbad the madness of the prophet.
For with God nothing shall be impossible.
And the LORD said unto him, Who hath made man's mouth? or who maketh 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 groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.
And Balaam said unto the ass, Because thou hast mocked me: I would there were a sword in mine hand, for now would I kill thee.
