31 Then the LORD opened Balaam’s eyes, and he saw the Angel of the LORD standing in the path with a drawn sword in His hand. Balaam knelt and bowed with his face to the ground. 32 The Angel of the LORD asked him, “ Why have you beaten your donkey these three times? Look, I came out to oppose you, because what you are doing is evil in My sight . 33 The donkey saw Me and turned away from Me these three times. If she had not turned away from Me, I would have killed you by now and let her live.” 34 Balaam said to the Angel of the LORD , “I have sinned, for I did not know that You were standing in the path to confront me. And now, if it is evil in Your sight, I will go back.” 35 Then the Angel of the LORD said to Balaam, “ Go with the men, but you are to say only what I tell you.” So Balaam went with Balak’s officials.
