31 Immediately, the Lord opened the eyes of Balaam, and he saw the Angel standing in the way with a drawn sword, and he reverenced him prone on the ground.
32 And the Angel said to him: 'Why did you beat your donkey three times? I have come to be an adversary to you, because your way is perverse and contrary to me.
33 And unless the donkey had turned aside from the way, allowing a place for my opposition, I would have killed you, and she would have lived.'
34 Balaam said: 'I have sinned, not knowing that you stood against me. And now, if it displeases you for me to continue on, I will return.'
35 The Angel said, 'Go with them, but be careful not to speak anything other than what I shall instruct you.' And so, he went with the leaders.
