Matthew Poole and continuators on Numbers 22:34

34 And Balaam said unto the angel of the LORD, I have sinned, for I knew not that thou stoodest in the way against me: now therefore, if it displease thee , I will get me back again.

A frivolous supposition, for it was apparently displeasing to God, who had now said that his way was perverse and had therefore opposed him and sought to slay him: but hereby he shews how loath he was to go back and lose the hopes he had conceived, and besides he speaks of desisting from the outward action, but shews no sense of the plague of his heart, his vile affections, which were the root of this ill designed journey.
