Commentary for Berakhot 13:12

א"ר אלעזר אמר להם הקב"ה לישראל דעו כמה צדקות עשיתי עמכם שלא כעסתי בימי בלעם הרשע שאלמלי כעסתי לא נשתייר משונאיהם של ישראל שריד ופליט

R. Eleazar answered : The Holy One, blessed be He, said to Israel, "Know ye how many are the righteous acts which I have wrought on your behalf, that I was not wrathful in the days of the wicked Balaam ; for had I been wrathful, there would not have been left any remnant of the enemies of Israeli."
