Berfirmanlah Malaikat TUHAN kepadanya: "Apakah sebabnya engkau memukul keledaimu sampai tiga kali? Lihat, Aku keluar sebagai lawanmu, sebab jalan ini pada pemandangan-Ku menuju kepada kebinasaan.
Maka kata Malaekat Tuhan kepadanya: Mengapa maka engkau memukul keledaimu sekarang sudah tiga kali? Bahwa sesungguhnya Aku telah keluar hendak melawan akan dikau, dan pada tempat curam jalan tadi tiada Aku beri engkau lalu dari pada-Ku.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And the angel of the Lord said unto him,.... When risen up, and standing before him:
wherefore hast thou smitten thine ass these three times? the brute creatures are not to be beaten without cause, nor to be misused and abused by men, even their owners:
behold, I went out to withstand thee; the ass was not to be blamed, nor to be beaten for turning aside, or lying down, it was I that stood in the way, and hindered its going forward, and this was done by me on purpose to oppose and stop thee:
because thy way is perverse before me; the journey he took was not with his good liking and approbation, and especially seeing he went with an intention, if possible, to serve Balak, and curse Israel; the way of his heart was bad, which the Lord knew; it was not directed according to his will, but swerved from it; the Targum of Jonathan is,
"it is manifest before me that thou seekest to go and curse the people, and the thing is not agreeable to me.''
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Is perverse - Rather, is headlong. Compare Peter’s words 2 Peter 2:16, “the madness of the prophet.”
