2 Peter 2:16-18
New International Version
2 Peter 2:16-18
New International Version
16 But he was rebuked for his wrongdoing by a donkey—an animal without speech—who spoke with a human voice and restrained the prophet’s madness.(A)
17 These people are springs without water(B) and mists driven by a storm. Blackest darkness is reserved for them.(C) 18 For they mouth empty, boastful words(D) and, by appealing to the lustful desires of the flesh, they entice people who are just escaping(E) from those who live in error.

King James Version
2 Peter 2:16-18
King James Version
16 But was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb ass speaking with man's voice forbad the madness of the prophet.
17 These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever.
18 For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error.
