“…who bows down with eyes wide open.”
Baalam delivered the Lord’s message, not the message King Balak wanted to hear.
Baalam, as God’s servant, was only a mouthpiece. Yet he fulfilled his role as a prophet of God before a wicked enemy.

For forty years I led you through the desert … yet your sandals did not wear out." Duet. 29:5
