2 Peter 2:7-16

7and saved righteous Lot, distressed with the abandoned conversation of the 1godless,

8(for the righteous man through seeing and hearing, dwelling among them, tormented [his] righteous soul day after day with [their] lawless works,)

9[the] Lord knows [how] to deliver the 2godly out of trial, and to keep [the] unjust to [the] day of judgment [to be] punished;

10and specially those who walk after the flesh in [the] lust of uncleanness, and despise lordship. Bold [are they], self-willed; they do not fear speaking injuriously of dignities:

11when angels, who are greater in might and power, do not bring against them, before the Lord, an injurious charge.

12But these, as natural animals without reason, made to be caught and destroyed, speaking injuriously in things they are ignorant of, shall also perish in their own corruption,

13receiving [the] reward of unrighteousness; accounting ephemeral indulgence pleasure; spots and blemishes, rioting in their own deceits, feasting with you;

14having eyes full of adultery, and that cease not from sin, alluring unestablished souls; having a heart practised in covetousness, children of curse;

15having left [the] straight way they have gone astray, having followed in the path of Balaam [the son] of Bosor, who loved [the] reward of unrighteousness;

16but had reproof of his own wickedness — [the] dumb ass speaking with man's voice forbad the folly of the prophet.
