Num 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?

Phrase of Scripture		Correlating Passages

the LORD opened		"And where is the wonder of all this? If the ass had opened her own mouth, and reproved the rash prophet, we might well be astonished; but when God opens the mouth, an ass can speak as well as a man. It is to no purpose to speak of the construction of the ass's mouth, of the formation of the tongue and jaws being unfit for speaking; for an adequate cause is assigned for this wonderful effect, ""The LORD opened the mouth of the ass""; and no one who believes in a God, can doubt of his power to do this and much more. Exd 4:11; Luk 1:37; 1Cr 1:19; 2Pe 2:16"
What have I		Rom 8:22
