Num. 22:21-33 (14 in 13 verses)

 22:21 And Balaam rose up in the morning, and saddled his ass=hlgree>ass, and went with the princes of Moab.

 22:22 And God's anger was kindled because he went: and the angel of the Lord stood in the way for an adversary against him. Now he was riding upon his ass=hlgree>ass, and his two servants were with him.

 22:23 And the ass=hlgree>ass saw the angel of the Lord standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand: and the ass=hlgree>ass turned aside out of the way, and went into the field: and Balaam smote the ass=hlgree>ass, to turn her into the way.

 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.

 22:25 And when the ass=hlgree>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.

 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.

 22:27 And when the ass=hlgree>ass saw the angel of the Lord, she fell down under Balaam: and Balaam's anger was kindled, and he smote the ass=hlgree>ass with a staff.

 22:28 And the Lord opened the mouth of the ass=hlgree>ass, and she said unto Balaam, What have I done unto thee, that thou hast smitten me these three times?

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

 22:30 And the ass=hlgree>ass said unto Balaam, Am not I thine ass=hlgree>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.

 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.

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

 22:33 And the ass=hlgree>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.
