31 Then the LORD enabled Balaam to see, so he observed the angel of the LORD standing in the way, with an unsheathed sword in his hand. So he bowed down and prostrated himself on his face. 32 Then the angel of the LORD asked him, |Why did you beat your donkey in the space of only three footsteps? I've come to oppose you, because I say that what you're doing is perverted. 33 The donkey saw me and turned in front of me in the space of those three footsteps. 34 If she hadn't turned away from me, I would have killed you by now and left her alive!| At this, Balaam replied to the angel of the LORD, |I've sinned! I didn't know that you were standing to meet me on the road. So now, since it displeases you, let me go back.| 35 But the angel of the LORD told Balaam, |Go with the men, but deliver only the message that I'm going to give you.| So Balaam went with Balak's officials.
