2 Peter 2:12-15

12But 1these, like unreasoning animals, 2born as creatures of instinct to be captured and killed, reviling where they have no knowledge, will in 3the destruction of those creatures also be destroyed,

13suffering wrong as 4the wages of doing wrong. They count it a pleasure to 5revel in the 6daytime. They are stains and blemishes, 7reveling in their 8deceptions, as they 9carouse with you,

14having eyes full of adultery that never cease from sin, 10enticing 11unstable souls, having a heart trained in 12greed, 13accursed children;

15forsaking 14the right way, they have gone astray, having followed 15the way of Balaam, the son of Beor, who loved 16the wages of unrighteousness;
