Numbers 22:30-34

Numbers 22:30-34 NCV

But the donkey said to Balaam, “I am your very own donkey, which you have ridden for years. Have I ever done this to you before?” “No,” Balaam said. Then the LORD let Balaam see the angel of the LORD, who was standing in the road with his sword drawn. Then Balaam bowed facedown on the ground. The angel of the LORD asked Balaam, “Why have you hit your donkey three times? I have stood here to stop you, because what you are doing is wrong. The donkey saw me and turned away from me three times. If she had not turned away, I would have killed you by now, but I would have let her live.” Then Balaam said to the angel of the LORD, “I have sinned; I did not know you were standing in the road to stop me. If I am wrong, I will go back.”
