2 Peter 2:12-22

12But 1theseG3778, likeG5613 unreasoningG249 animalsG2226, 2bornG1080 as creaturesG5446 ofG5446 instinctG5446 to be capturedG259 and killedG5356, usingG987 abusiveG987 speechG987 whereG1722G3739 they haveG50 noG50 knowledgeG50, will in 3the destructionG5356 of thoseG3778 creatures alsoG2532 be destroyedG5351, 13suffering wrongG91 as 4the wagesG3408 of doingG93 wrongG93. They countG2233 it a pleasureG2237 to 5revelG5172 in the 6daytimeG2250. They are stainsG4696 and blemishesG3470, 7revelingG1792 in their 8deceptionsG539 as they 9feastG4910 with you, 14havingG2192 eyesG3788 fullG3324 of adulteryG3428 10that neverG180 ceaseG180 from sinG266, 11enticingG1185 12unstableG793 soulsG5590, havingG2192 heartsG2588 trainedG1128 in 13greedG4124, 14accursedG2671 childrenG5043; 15abandoningG2641 15the rightG2117 wayG3598, they have goneG4105 astrayG4105, having followedG1811 16the wayG3598 of BalaamG903, the son of BeorG961, whoG3739 lovedG25 17the 18rewardG3408 of unrighteousnessG93; 16but he receivedG2192 a rebukeG1649 for his ownG2398 offenseG3892, 19for a muteG880 donkeyG5268, speakingG5350 with a humanG444 voiceG5456, restrainedG2967 the insanityG3913 of the prophetG4396.

17TheseG3778 are 20springsG4077 withoutG504 waterG504 and mistsG3658 drivenG1643 by a stormG2978, 21for whomG3739 the 22blackG2217 darknessG4655 has been reservedG5083. 18For, while speakingG5350 outG5350 23arrogantG5246 words of noG3153 24valueG3153 they 25enticeG1185 by fleshlyG4561 desiresG1939, by 26indecentG766 behaviorG766, thoseG3588 who barelyG3643 27escapeG668 from the ones who liveG390 in errorG4106, 19promisingG1861 them freedomG1657 while they themselvesG846 are slavesG1401 of corruptionG5356; for 28by whatG3739 anyoneG5100 isG2274 overcomeG2274, by thisG3778 he is enslavedG1402. 20For ifG1487, after they have 29escapedG668 the defilementsG3393 of the worldG2889 by 30the knowledgeG1922 of the 31LordG2962 and SaviorG4990 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, they are againG3825 32entangledG1707 inG1707 them and areG2274 overcomeG2274, 33the lastG2078 state has becomeG1096 worseG5501 for them than the firstG4413. 2134For it would be betterG2909 for them not to have knownG1921 the wayG3598 of righteousnessG1343, thanG2228 having knownG1921 it, to turnG5290 awayG5290 from 35the holyG40 commandmentG1785 36handedG3860 on to them. 2237It has happenedG4819 to them according to the trueG227 proverbG3942, “38A dogG2965 returnsG1994 to its ownG2398 vomitG1829,” and, “A sowG5300, after washingG3068, returns to wallowingG2946 in the mireG1004.”
