26. And the Angel of the Lord went further and stood in a narrow place where there was no room to turn, either to the right hand or to the left.
27. And when the donkey saw the Angel of the Lord, she fell down under Balaam, and Balaam's anger was kindled and he struck the donkey with his staff.
28. And the Lord opened the mouth of the donkey, and she said to Balaam, What have I done to you that you should strike me these three times?
29. And Balaam said to the donkey, Because you have ridiculed and provoked me! I wish there were a sword in my hand, for now I would kill you!
