Numbers 22:28

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

Cross-reference

Numbers 22:32 records the angel's rebuke immediately after the donkey's speech — the donkey's words reveal Balaam's opposition to God's will.

2 Peter 2:16 explicitly references this event — the donkey's rebuke of Balaam's madness shows God using a mute animal to correct a rebellious prophet.

Exodus 4:11 Parallel

In Exodus 4:11, Yahweh declares He makes the mute and deaf — this donkey's speech demonstrates that same divine sovereignty over the mouth.

Proverbs 12:10 says a righteous man cares for his animal; Balaam beats his donkey unjustly, showing his unrighteousness.

John 11:51 Parallel

John 11:51 shows Caiaphas prophesying unwittingly; similarly, Balaam's donkey speaks God's truth despite being an unwilling mouthpiece.
