18. Balaam answered: If Balac would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot alter the word of the Lord my God, to speak either more or less.
19. I pray you to stay here this night also, that I may know what the Lord will answer me once more.
20. God therefore came to Balaam in the night, and said to him: It these men be come to call thee, arise and go with them: yet so, that thou do what I shall command thee.
21. Balaam arose in the morning, and saddling his ass went with them.
22. And God was angry. And an angel of the Lord stood in the way against Balaam, who sat on the ass, and had two servants with him.
23. The ass seeing the angel standing in the way, with a drawn sword, turned herself out of the way, and went into the field. And when Balaam beat her, and had a mind to bring her again to the way,
24. The angel stood in a narrow place between two walls, wherewith the vineyards were enclosed.
