Clarke's Commentary on the BibleThe dumb ass, speaking with man's voice - See the note on Numbers 22:28. The madness of the prophet - Is not this a reference to the speech of the ass, as represented in the Targums of Jonathan ben Uzziel and Jerusalem?

Numbers 22:21 Balaam got up in the morning, saddled his donkey and went with the Moabite officials.
Numbers 22:23 When the donkey saw the angel of the LORD standing in the road with a drawn sword in his hand, it turned off the road into a field. Balaam beat it to get it back on the road.
Numbers 22:28 Then the LORD opened the donkey's mouth, and it said to Balaam, "What have I done to you to make you beat me these three times?"
Psalm 39:11 When you rebuke and discipline anyone for their sin, you consume their wealth like a moth-- surely everyone is but a breath.
