*
But God '
s anger was kindled because he went ;
and the angel of the LORD took his stand in the way as his adversary .
Now he was riding on the ass ,
and his two servants were with him .
*
And the ass saw the angel of the LORD standing in the road ,
with a drawn sword in his hand ;
and the ass turned aside out of the road ,
and went into the field ;
and Balaam struck the ass ,
to turn her into the road .
*
Then the angel of the LORD stood in a narrow path between the vineyards ,
with a wall on either side .
*
And when the ass saw the angel of the LORD ,
she pushed against the wall ,
and pressed Balaam '
s foot against the wall ;
so he struck her again .
*
Then the angel of the LORD went ahead ,
and stood in a narrow place ,
where there was no way to turn either to the right or to the left .
*
When the ass saw the angel of the LORD ,
she lay down under Balaam ;
and Balaam '
s anger was kindled ,
and he struck the ass with his staff .
