2 Peter 2:16-18
English Standard Version
16 but was rebuked for his own transgression; (A)a speechless donkey spoke with human voice and restrained the prophet's madness.
17 (B)These are waterless springs and mists driven by a storm. (C)For them the gloom of utter darkness has been reserved. 18 For, (D)speaking loud boasts of folly, they entice by sensual passions of the flesh those who are barely (E)escaping from those who live in error.

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.
