Numbers 22:24-26

New Catholic Bible

²⁴ Then an angel of the Lord stood in the narrow pathway in the vineyards, walls standing on either side. ²⁵ When the donkey saw the angel of the Lord, it pressed so close to the wall that it crushed Balaam’s foot against it, so he beat it again. ²⁶ Then the angel of the Lord moved on ahead and stood in a narrow place that had no room to turn either to the right or to the left.
