Numbers 22:35 YLT

³³  and the ass seeth me, and turneth aside at my presence these three times; unless she had turned aside from my presence, surely now also, thee I had slain, and her kept alive.'

³⁴  And Balaam saith unto the messenger of Jehovah, 'I have sinned, for I did not know that thou 'art' standing to meet me in the way; and now, if evil in thine eyes -- I turn back by myself.'

³⁵  And the messenger of Jehovah saith unto Balaam, 'Go with the men; and only the word which I speak unto thee -- it thou dost speak;' and Balaam goeth with the princes of Balak.

³⁶  And Balak heareth that Balaam hath come, and goeth out to meet him, unto a city of Moab, which 'is' on the border of Arnon, which 'is' in the extremity of the border;

³⁷  and Balak saith unto Balaam, 'Did I not diligently sent unto thee to call for thee? why didst thou not come unto me? am I not truly able to honour thee?'
