Sforno on Numbers 22:30/ספורנו על במדבר כ״ב:ל׳

אהַהַסְכֵּן הִסְכַּנְתִּי. וְהָיָה רָאוּי לְךָ לַחְשׁוֹב מֵאַחַר שֶׁאֵין זֶה מִנְהָגִי, שֶׁלֹּא קָרָה לְךָ כָּל זֶה בָּזֶה הַדֶּרֶךְ אֶלָּא לְהוֹרוֹת שֶׁלֹּא יִצְלַח. שֶׁאַף עַל פִּי שֶׁאֵין נַחַשׁ, יֵשׁ סִימָן.
1?ההסכן הסכנתי, you should have reflected on the meaning of my behaviour knowing that it is so totally out of character for me to act in this manner unless there was an urgent reason. You should have realised that all this only happened to you in order to teach you that your plan will not succeed, for even though you did not have an overt sign there have been hints.
