But God was very angry when Balaam went. So the angel of the Lord stood in the road to oppose him. Balaam was riding on his donkey. His two servants were with him.

They stare at women who are not their wives. They want to sleep with them. They never stop sinning. They trap those who are not firm in their faith. They have mastered the art of getting what they want. God has placed them under his judgment.They have left God’s way. They have wandered off. They follow the way of Balaam, son of Beor. He loved to get paid for doing his evil work.

He provides food for the cattle. He provides for the young ravens when they cry out.

Anyone who lives without blame is kept safe. But anyone whose path is crooked will fall into the pit.

And shouldn’t I show concern for the great city of Nineveh? It has more than 120,000 people. They can’t tell right from wrong. Nineveh also has a lot of animals.”

Then the Lord opened the donkey’s mouth. It said to Balaam,“ What have I done to you? Why did you hit me these three times?”

Don’t stop an ox from eating while you use it to separate grain from straw.

Your holiness is as great as the height of the highest mountains. You are as honest as the oceans are deep. Lord, you keep people and animals safe.

Whoever has respect for the Lord lives a good life. But those who hate him walk down an evil path.

The Ammonites and Moabites didn’t come to meet you with food and water on your way out of Egypt. They even hired Balaam from Pethor in Aram Naharaim to put a curse on you. Balaam was the son of Beor.

The angel of the Lord said to Balaam,“ Go with the men. But say only what I tell you to say.” So Balaam went with Balak’s officials.

That night God came to Balaam. He said,“ These men have come to get you. So go with them. But do only what I tell you to do.”

There the angel of the Lord appeared to him from inside a burning bush. Moses saw that the bush was on fire. But it didn’t burn up.So Moses thought,“ I’ll go over and see this strange sight. Why doesn’t the bush burn up?”The Lord saw that Moses had gone over to look. So God spoke to him from inside the bush. He called out,“ Moses! Moses!”“ Here I am,” Moses said.“ Do not come any closer,” God said.“ Take off your sandals. The place you are standing on is holy ground.”He continued,“ I am the God of your father. I am the God of Abraham. I am the God of Isaac. And I am the God of Jacob.” When Moses heard that, he turned his face away. He was afraid to look at God.

“ You are a child of the devil! You are an enemy of everything that is right! You cheat people. You use all kinds of tricks. Won’t you ever stop twisting the right ways of the Lord?

It is better to be poor and live without blame than to be rich and follow a crooked path.

The Lord is good to all. He shows deep concern for everything he has made.

Remember how Balak, the king of Moab, planned to put a curse on your people. But Balaam, the son of Beor, gave them a blessing instead. Remember their journey from Shittim to Gilgal. I want you to know that I always do what is right.”
