2 Peter 2:12-14
Lexham English Bible
12 But these persons, like irrational animals born only with natural instincts for capture and killing, blaspheming about things[a] they do not understand, in their destruction will also be destroyed, 13 being harmed as the wages of unrighteousness. Considering reveling in the daytime a pleasure, they are stains and blemishes, carousing in their deceitful pleasures when they[b] feast together with you, 14 having eyes full of desire for an adulteress and unceasing from sin, enticing unstable persons, and[c] having hearts trained for greediness. Accursed children!

12 But these people blaspheme in matters they do not understand. They are like unreasoning animals, creatures of instinct, born only to be caught and destroyed, and like animals they too will perish.(A)
13 They will be paid back with harm for the harm they have done. Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight.(B) They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures while they feast with you.[a](C) 14 With eyes full of adultery, they never stop sinning; they seduce(D) the unstable;(E) they are experts in greed(F)—an accursed brood!(G)
