Then the LORD opened the donkey’s mouth and it said to Balaam, “What have I done to you that you’ve beaten me these three times?”

Then the LORD uncovered Balaam’s eyes, and Balaam saw the LORD’s messenger standing in the road with his sword drawn in his hand. Then he bowed low and worshipped.

The LORD’s messenger said to him, “Why have you beaten your donkey these three times? I’ve come out here as an adversary, because you took the road recklessly in front of me.

The donkey said to Balaam, “Am I not your donkey, on whom you’ve often ridden to this day? Have I been in the habit of doing this to you?” Balaam said, “No.”

Balaam said to the donkey, “Because you’ve tormented me. If I had a sword in my hand, I’d kill you now.”

The donkey saw the LORD’s messenger and lay down underneath Balaam. Balaam became angry and beat the donkey with the rod.
