Numbers 22:28-30

International Standard Version

²⁸ That’s when the Lord enabled the donkey to speak.^[a] She asked Balaam, “What did I do to you that you would beat me in the space of only^[b] three footsteps?”

²⁹ “Because you’re playing a dirty trick on me,” Balaam answered the donkey. “If only I had a sword in my hand! I’d kill you right now!”

³⁰ But in response, the donkey asked Balaam, “I’m your donkey that you’ve ridden on in the past without incident,^[c] am I not, and I’m the same donkey you’re riding on right now, am I not? Am I in the habit of treating you like this?”

“No,” he admitted.
