Numbers 22:30-40

30 And the ass says to Balaam, not I thine ass on which thou hast ridden since thy youth till this day? did I ever do thus to thee, utterly disregarding ? and he said, No.
31 And God opened the eyes of Balaam, and he sees the angel of the Lord withstanding in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand, and he stooped down and worshipped on his face.
32 And the angel of God said to him, Why hast thou smitten thine ass this third time? and, behold, I came out to withstand thee, for thy way was not seemly before me; and when the ass saw me, she turned away from me this third time.
33 And if she had not turned out of the way, surely now, I should have slain thee, and should have saved her alive.
34 And Balaam said to the angel of the Lord, I have sinned, for I did not know that thou wert standing opposite in the way to meet ; and now if it shall not be pleasing to thee , I will return.
35 And the angel of the Lord said to Balaam, Go with the men: nevertheless the word which I shall speak to thee, that thou shalt take heed to speak. And Balaam went with the princes of Balac.
36 And when Balac heard that Balaam was come, he went out to meet him, to a city of Moab, which is on the borders of Arnon, which is on the part of the borders.
37 And Balac said to Balaam, Did I not send to thee to call thee? why hast thou not come to me? shall I not indeed be able to honour thee?
38 And Balaam said to Balac, Behold, I am now come to thee: shall I be able to say anything? the word which God shall put into my mouth, that I shall speak.
39 And Balaam went with Balac, and they came to the cities of streets.
40 And Balac offered sheep and calves, and sent to Balaam and to his princes who were with him.
