26. And the angel of the LORD went further, and stood in a narrow place, where there was no way to turn either to the right hand or to the left.
27. And when the donkey saw the angel of the LORD, she fell down under Balaam: and Balaam's anger was kindled, and he struck the donkey with a staff.
28. And the LORD opened the mouth of the donkey, and she said unto Balaam, What have I done unto you, that you have smitten me these three times?
29. And Balaam said unto the donkey, Because you have mocked me: I would there were a sword in my hand, for now would I kill you.
30. And the donkey said unto Balaam, Am not I your donkey, upon which you have ridden ever since I became yours unto this day? was I ever accustomed to do so unto you? And he said, Nay.
