Balaam And The Angel

33 But your donkey saw me and turned aside three times. If it had not, I would have killed you and spared the donkey. 34 Balaam said to the angel of the Lord, “I have sinned, for I did not know that you were standing in the way against me. Now then, if it is displeasing to you, I will turn back.” 35 But the angel said: Go on with these men, but say only what I tell you to say. Thus Balaam went on with them.
