Numbers 22:30-32

New King James Version

^30 (A)So the donkey said to Balaam, “Am I not your donkey on which you have ridden, ever since I became yours, to this day? Was I ever ^[a]disposed to do this to you?”

And he said, “No.”

³¹ Then the Lord ^(B)opened Balaam’s eyes, and he saw the Angel of the Lord standing in the way with His drawn sword in His hand; and he bowed his head and fell flat on his face. ³² And the Angel of the Lord said to him, “Why have you struck your donkey these three times? Behold, I have come out ^[b]to stand against you, because your way is ^(C)perverse^[c] before Me.
