Jeremiah 23:14-15
English Standard Version
14 But in the prophets of Jerusalem
I have seen a horrible thing:
(A)they commit adultery and walk in lies;
(B)they strengthen the hands of evildoers,
so that no one turns from his evil;
(C)all of them have become like Sodom to me,
(D)and its inhabitants like Gomorrah.”
15 Therefore thus says the Lord of hosts concerning the prophets:
(E)“Behold, I will feed them with bitter food
(F)and give them (G)poisoned water to drink,
for from the prophets of Jerusalem
ungodliness has gone out into all the land.”

English Standard Version
10 (A)But these people blaspheme all that they do not understand, and they are destroyed by all that they, like unreasoning animals, understand instinctively. 11 Woe to them! For they walked in (B)the way of Cain and abandoned themselves for the sake of gain (C)to Balaam's error and (D)perished in Korah's rebellion. 12 These are hidden reefs[a] (E)at your love feasts, as they feast with you without fear, (F)shepherds feeding themselves; (G)waterless clouds, (H)swept along by winds; fruitless trees in late autumn, twice dead, (I)uprooted; 13 (J)wild waves of the sea, casting up the foam of (K)their own shame; (L)wandering stars, (M)for whom the gloom of utter darkness has been reserved forever.

2 Peter 2:13-22
English Standard Version
13 suffering wrong as (A)the wage for their wrongdoing. They count it pleasure (B)to revel in the daytime. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their deceptions,[a] while (C)they feast with you. 14 They have eyes full of adultery,[b] (D)insatiable for sin. They entice unsteady souls. They have hearts (E)trained in greed. (F)Accursed children! 15 Forsaking the right way, (G)they have gone astray. They have followed (H)the way of Balaam, the son of Beor, who loved (I)gain from wrongdoing, 16 but was rebuked for his own transgression; (J)a speechless donkey spoke with human voice and restrained the prophet's madness.
17 (K)These are waterless springs and mists driven by a storm. (L)For them the gloom of utter darkness has been reserved. 18 For, (M)speaking loud boasts of folly, they entice by sensual passions of the flesh those who are barely (N)escaping from those who live in error. 19 They promise them (O)freedom, (P)but they themselves are slaves[c] of corruption. For whatever overcomes a person, to that he is enslaved. 20 For if, (Q)after they have escaped the defilements of the world (R)through the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overcome, (S)the last state has become worse for them than the first. 21 For (T)it would have been better for them never to have known the way of righteousness than after knowing it to turn back from (U)the holy commandment delivered to them. 22 What the true proverb says has happened to them: “The (V)dog returns to its own vomit, and the sow, after washing herself, returns to wallow in the mire.”

10 Precisely because they have misled my people, (A)saying, ‘Peace,’ when there is no peace, and because, when the people build a wall, (B)these prophets smear it with whitewash,[a] 11 say to those who smear it with whitewash that it shall fall! (C)There will be a deluge of rain, and you, O great hailstones, will fall, and a stormy wind break out. 12 And when the wall falls, will it not be said to you, ‘Where is the coating with which you smeared it?’ 13 Therefore thus says the Lord God: (D)I will make a stormy wind break out in my wrath, (E)and there shall be a deluge of rain in my anger, and great hailstones in wrath to make a full end. 14 And I will break down the wall that you have smeared with whitewash, and bring it down to the ground, so that its foundation will be laid bare. When it falls, you shall perish in the midst of it, (F)and you shall know that I am the Lord. 15 Thus will I spend my wrath upon the wall and upon those who have smeared it with whitewash, and I will say to you, The wall is no more, nor those who smeared it,
