“But I am the same donkey you have ridden all your life,” the donkey answered. “Have I ever done anything like this before?” “No,” Balaam admitted.
“You have made me look like a fool!” Balaam shouted. “If I had a sword with me, I would kill you!”
Then the Lord opened Balaam’s eyes, and he saw the angel of the Lord standing in the roadway with a drawn sword in his hand. Balaam bowed his head and fell face down on the ground before him.
But Balaam was stopped from his mad course when his donkey rebuked him with a human voice.
