[18 ](/kjv/numbers/22/18) And Balaam answered and said unto the servants of Balak, If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the word of the LORD my God, to do less or more. [19 ](/kjv/numbers/22/19) Now therefore, I pray you, tarry ye also here this night, that I may know what the LORD will say unto me more. [20 ](/kjv/numbers/22/20) And God came unto Balaam at night, and said unto him, If the men come to call thee, rise up, *and* go with them; but yet the word which I shall say unto thee, that shalt thou do. [21 ](/kjv/numbers/22/21) And Balaam rose up in the morning, and saddled his ass, and went with the princes of Moab. [22 ](/kjv/numbers/22/22) ¶ And God’s anger was kindled because he went: and the angel of the LORD stood in the way for an adversary against him. Now he was riding upon his ass, and his two servants *were* with him. [23 ](/kjv/numbers/22/23) And the ass saw the angel of the LORD standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand: and the ass turned aside out of the way, and went into the field: and Balaam smote the ass, to turn her into the way. [24 ](/kjv/numbers/22/24) But the angel of the LORD stood in a path of the vineyards, a wall *being* on this side, and a wall on that side. [25 ](/kjv/numbers/22/25) And when the ass saw the angel of the LORD, she thrust herself unto the wall, and crushed Balaam’s foot against the wall: and he smote her again. [26 ](/kjv/numbers/22/26) And the angel of the LORD went further, and stood in a narrow place, where *was* no way to turn either to the right hand or to the left. [27 ](/kjv/numbers/22/27) And when the ass saw the angel of the LORD, she fell down under Balaam: and Balaam’s anger was kindled, and he smote the ass with a staff. [28 ](/kjv/numbers/22/28) And the LORD opened the mouth of the ass, and she said unto Balaam, What have I done unto thee, that thou hast smitten me these three times? [29 ](/kjv/numbers/22/29) And Balaam said unto the ass, Because thou hast mocked me: I would there were a sword in mine hand, for now would I kill thee. [30 ](/kjv/numbers/22/30) And the ass said unto Balaam, *Am* not I thine ass, upon which thou hast ridden ever since *I was* thine unto this day? was I ever wont to do so unto thee? And he said, Nay.** [31 ](/kjv/numbers/22/31) Then the LORD opened the eyes of Balaam, and he saw the angel of the LORD standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand: and he bowed down his head, and fell flat on his face.* [32 ](/kjv/numbers/22/32) And the angel of the LORD said unto him, Wherefore hast thou smitten thine ass these three times? behold, I went out to withstand thee, because *thy* way is perverse before me:* [33 ](/kjv/numbers/22/33) And the ass saw me, and turned from me these three times: unless she had turned from me, surely now also I had slain thee, and saved her alive. [34 ](/kjv/numbers/22/34) And Balaam said unto the angel of the LORD, I have sinned; for I knew not that thou stoodest in the way against me: now therefore, if it displease thee, I will get me back again.* [35 ](/kjv/numbers/22/35) And the angel of the LORD said unto Balaam, Go with the men: but only the word that I shall speak unto thee, that thou shalt speak. So Balaam went with the princes of Balak.
