2 Peter 2:12–18

¹²But these, ^yas natural brute beasts, ^zmade to be taken and destroyed, ^yaspeak evil of the things that they understand not; and ^yshall utterly perish in their own ^bcorruption; ¹³and shall receive ^cthe reward of unrighteousness, as they that count it pleasure ^dto riot in the day time. ^eSpots they are and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings ^fwhile ^gthey feast with you; ¹⁴having eyes full of adultery and ^hthat cannot cease from sin; ⁱbeguiling ^kunstable souls: a heart they have ^lexercised with ^mcovetous practices; ⁿcursed children: ¹⁵which have forsaken ^othe right way, and are gone astray, following the way of ^pBalaam the son of Bosor, who loved ^cthe wages of unrighteousness; ¹⁶but was rebuked for his iniquity: ^qthe dumb ass speaking with man’s voice forbad the madness of the prophet. ¹⁷These are wells ^rswithout water, ^rclouds that are carried with a tempest; ^tto whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever. ¹⁸For when ^uthey speak great swelling words of vanity, they ⁱallure through the lusts of the flesh, through ^vmuch wantonness, ^wthose that were ^xclean escaped from them who live in error.
