Numbers 22:31-33

Christian Standard Bible

³¹ Then the Lord opened Balaam’s eyes, and he saw the angel of the Lord standing in the path with a drawn sword in his hand. Balaam knelt low and bowed in worship on his face. ³² The angel of the Lord asked him, “Why have you beaten your donkey these three times? Look, I came out to oppose you, because I consider what you are doing to be evil.^{[a] 33} The donkey saw me and turned away from me these three times. If she had not turned away from me, I would have killed you by now and let her live.”
