2 Peter 2:7-16

7and deliveredG4506 righteousG1342 LotG3091, sore distressed by the lascivious lifeG391 of the wicked

8(for that righteousG1342 manG1342 dwelling among them, in seeing and hearingG189, vexed his righteousG1342 soulG5590 from dayG2250 to dayG2250 with their lawlessG459 deedsG2041):

9the LordG2962 knoweth how to deliverG4506 the godly out of temptationG3986, and to keepG5083 the unrighteousG94 under punishment unto the dayG2250 of judgmentG2920;

10but chiefly them that walk after the fleshG4561 in the lustG1939 of defilement, and despiseG2706 dominion. Daring, self-willed, they tremble not to rail at dignities:

11whereas angelsG32, though greaterG3173 in might and powerG1411, bringG5342 not a railing judgmentG2920 against them before the LordG2962.

12But these, as creaturesG2226 without reason, bornG1080 mere animalsG2226 to be taken and destroyed, railing in matters whereof they are ignorantG50, shall in their destroying surely be destroyed,

13suffering wrongG91 as the hire of wrong-doing; men that count it pleasure to revel in the day-time, spots and blemishes, revelling in their deceivings while they feastG4910 with you;

14having eyesG3788 fullG3324 of adultery, and that cannot cease from sinG266; enticing unstedfast soulsG5590; having a heartG2588 exercised in covetousnessG4124; childrenG5043 of cursingG2671;

15forsaking the right wayG3598, they went astrayG4105, having followedG1811 the wayG3598 of BalaamG903 the son of Beor, who lovedG25 the hire of wrong-doing;

16but he was rebuked for his ownG2398 transgression: a dumb ass spake with man’sG444 voiceG5456 and stayed the madness of the prophetG4396.
