Balaam answered the donkey, “You have made me look foolish! I wish I had a sword in my hand! I would kill you right now!”
Good people take care of their animals, but even the kindest acts of the wicked are cruel.
Out of the mind come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual sins, stealing, lying, and speaking evil of others.
This is something wrong that happens here on earth: What happens to one happens to all. So people’s minds are full of evil and foolish thoughts while they live. After that, they join the dead.
Fools quickly show that they are upset, but the wise ignore insults.
But the donkey said to Balaam, “I am your very own donkey, which you have ridden for years. Have I ever done this to you before?” “No,” Balaam said.
Laban answered, “Agreed! We will do what you ask.”
