Bible: 2 Pet 2:12-17
2:12 But 1 these men, 2 like irrational animals – creatures of instinct, born to be caught and destroyed 3 – do not understand whom 4 they are insulting, and consequently 5 in their destruction they will be destroyed, 6 2:13 suffering harm as the wages for their harmful ways. 7 By considering it a pleasure to carouse in broad daylight, 8 they are stains and blemishes, indulging 9 in their deceitful pleasures when they feast together with you. 2:14 Their eyes, 10 full of adultery, 11 never stop sinning; 12 they entice 13 unstable people. 14 They have trained their hearts for greed, these cursed children! 15 2:15 By forsaking the right path they have gone astray, because they followed the way of Balaam son of Bosor, 16 who loved the wages of unrighteousness, 17 2:16 yet was rebuked 18 for his own transgression (a dumb donkey, 19 speaking with a human voice, 20 restrained the prophet’s madness). 21
2:17 These men 22 are waterless springs and mists driven by a storm, for whom the utter depths of darkness 23 have been reserved.
