This time when the donkey saw the angel, it lay down under Balaam. In a fit of rage Balaam beat the animal again with his staff.
The wise are cautious and avoid danger; fools plunge ahead with reckless confidence.
Then the angel of the Lord moved farther down the road and stood in a place too narrow for the donkey to get by at all.
Understand this, my dear brothers and sisters: You must all be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry.
