kjv - Numbers:22:24-40

kjv@Numbers:22:24 @ But the angel of the LORD stood in a path of the vineyards, a wall being on this side, and a wall on that side.

kjv@Numbers:22:25 @ And when the ass saw the angel of the LORD, she thrust herself unto the wall, and crushed Balaam's foot against the wall: and he smote her again.

kjv@Numbers:22:26 @ And the angel of the LORD went further, and stood in a narrow place, where was no way to turn either to the right hand or to the left.

kjv@Numbers:22:27 @ And when the ass saw the angel of the LORD, she fell down under Balaam: and Balaam's anger was kindled, and he smote the ass with a staff.

kjv@Numbers:22:28 @ And the LORD opened the mouth of the ass, and she said unto Balaam, What have I done unto thee, that thou hast smitten me these three times?

kjv@Numbers:22:29 @ And Balaam said unto the ass, Because thou hast mocked me: I would there were a sword in mine hand, for now would I kill thee.

kjv@Numbers:22:30 @ And the ass said unto Balaam, Am not I thine ass, upon which thou hast ridden ever since I was thine unto this day? was I ever wont to do so unto thee? And he said, Nay.

kjv@Numbers:22:31 @ Then the LORD opened the eyes of Balaam, and he saw the angel of the LORD standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand: and he bowed down his head, and fell flat on his face.

kjv@Numbers:22:32 @ And the angel of the LORD said unto him, Wherefore hast thou smitten thine ass these three times? behold, I went out to withstand thee, because thy way is perverse before me:

kjv@Numbers:22:33 @ And the ass saw me, and turned from me these three times: unless she had turned from me, surely now also I had slain thee, and saved her alive.

kjv@Numbers:22:34 @ And Balaam said unto the angel of the LORD, I have sinned; for I knew not that thou stoodest in the way against me: now therefore, if it displease thee, I will get me back again.

kjv@Numbers:22:35 @ And the angel of the LORD said unto Balaam, Go with the men: but only the word that I shall speak unto thee, that thou shalt speak. So Balaam went with the princes of Balak.

kjv@Numbers:22:36 @ And when Balak heard that Balaam was come, he went out to meet him unto a city of Moab, which is in the border of Arnon, which is in the utmost coast.

kjv@Numbers:22:37 @ And Balak said unto Balaam, Did I not earnestly send unto thee to call thee? wherefore camest thou not unto me? am I not able indeed to promote thee to honour?

kjv@Numbers:22:38 @ And Balaam said unto Balak, Lo, I am come unto thee: have I now any power at all to say any thing? the word that God putteth in my mouth, that shall I speak.

kjv@Numbers:22:39 @ And Balaam went with Balak, and they came unto Kirjathhuzoth.

kjv@Numbers:22:40 @ And Balak offered oxen and sheep, and sent to Balaam, and to the princes that were with him.
