NASB
"Then Balaam said to the donkey, "Because you have made a mockery of me! If there had been a sword in my hand, I would have killed you by now.""
— Numbers 22:29, NASB
“And Balaam said unto the ass, Because thou hast mocked me: I would there were a sword in mine hand, for now would I kill thee.”
“And Balaam said unto the ass, Because thou hast mocked me: I would there were a sword in my hand, for now I had killed thee. ”
“Balaam said to the donkey, "Because you have mocked me, I wish there were a sword in my hand, for now I would have killed you."”
“And Balaam said to the donkey,“You have made me look stupid; I wish there were a sword in my hand, for I would kill you right now.””
“Balaam answered: Because thou hast deserved it, and hast served me ill: I would I had a sword that I might kill thee.”
“And Balaam said to the ass, You have made me seem foolish: if only I had a sword in my hand I would put you to death.”
“And Balaam said unto the ass, Because thou hast mocked me: I would there were a sword in mine hand, for now would I kill thee.”
The angel of the LORD went further, and stood in a narrow place where there was no way to turn to the right hand or the left.
When the donkey saw the angel of the LORD, she lay down under Balaam; so Balaam was angry and struck the donkey with his stick.
And the LORD opened the mouth of the donkey, and she said to Balaam, "What have I done to you, that you have struck me these three times?"
Then Balaam said to the donkey, "Because you have made a mockery of me! If there had been a sword in my hand, I would have killed you by now."
The donkey said to Balaam, "Am I not your donkey on which you have ridden all your life to this day? Have I ever been accustomed to do so to you?" And he said, "No."
Then the LORD opened the eyes of Balaam, and he saw the angel of the LORD standing in the way with his drawn sword in his hand; and he bowed all the way to the ground.
The angel of the LORD said to him, "Why have you struck your donkey these three times? Behold, I have come out as an adversary, because your way was contrary to me.
