21. So Balaam got up in the morning, saddled his donkey, and went with the princes of Moab.
22. Then God’s anger was kindled because he went, and the angel of the Lord stood in the road to oppose him. Now he was riding on his donkey and his two servants were with him.
23. And the donkey saw the angel of the Lord standing in the road with his sword drawn in his hand, so the donkey turned aside from the road and went into the field. But Balaam beat the donkey, to make her turn back to the road.
24. Then the angel of the Lord stood in a path among the vineyards, where there was a wall on either side.
25. And when the donkey saw the angel of the Lord, she pressed herself into the wall, and crushed Balaam’s foot against the wall. So he beat her again.
26. Then the angel of the Lord went farther, and stood in a narrow place, where there was no way to turn either to the right or to the left.
