2 Peter 2:12-14
New King James Version
Depravity of False Teachers
12 But these, (A)like natural brute beasts made to be caught and destroyed, speak evil of the things they do not understand, and will utterly perish in their own corruption, 13 (B)and will receive the wages of unrighteousness, as those who count it pleasure (C)to [a]carouse in the daytime. (D)They are spots and blemishes, [b]carousing in their own deceptions while (E)they feast with you, 14 having eyes full of [c]adultery and that cannot cease from sin, enticing unstable souls. (F)They have a heart trained in covetous practices, and are accursed children.

Jude 11-13
New King James Version
11 Woe to them! For they have gone in the way (A)of Cain, (B)have run greedily in the error of Balaam for profit, and perished (C)in the rebellion of Korah.
Apostates Depraved and Doomed
12 These are [a]spots in your love feasts, while they feast with you without fear, serving only themselves. They are clouds without water, carried [b]about by the winds; late autumn trees without fruit, twice dead, pulled up by the roots; 13 (D)raging waves of the sea, (E)foaming up their own shame; wandering stars (F)for whom is reserved the blackness of darkness forever.
