2 Peter 1:20-2:3

New American Standard Bible

²⁰ But ^(A)know this first of all, that ^(B)no prophecy of Scripture ^[a]becomes a matter of ^[b]someone’s own interpretation, ²¹ for ^(C)no prophecy was ever made by an act of human will, but men ^(D)moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.

The Appearance of False Prophets

2 But ^(E)false prophets also appeared among the people, just as there will also be ^(F)false teachers ^(G)among you, who will ^(H)secretly introduce ^(I)destructive heresies, even ^(J)denying the ^(K)Master who ^(L)bought them, bringing swift destruction upon themselves. ² Many will follow their ^(M)indecent behavior, and because of them ^(N)the way of the truth will be ^(O)maligned; ³ and in their ^(P)greed they will ^(Q)exploit you with ^(R)false words; ^(S)their judgment from long ago is not idle, and their destruction is not asleep.
