Then the Lord gave the donkey the ability to speak. “What have I done to you that deserves your beating me three times?” it asked Balaam.
Then the Lord asked Moses, “Who makes a person’s mouth? Who decides whether people speak or do not speak, hear or do not hear, see or do not see? Is it not I, the Lord?
“You have made me look like a fool!” Balaam shouted. “If I had a sword with me, I would kill you!”
For the word of God will never fail.”
For we know that all creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time.
As the Scriptures say, “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise and discard the intelligence of the intelligent.”
But Balaam was stopped from his mad course when his donkey rebuked him with a human voice.
