2 Peter 2:10-16
Christian Standard Bible
10 especially those who follow the polluting desires of the flesh and despise authority.(A)
Bold, arrogant people! They are not afraid to slander the glorious ones; 11 however, angels, who are greater in might and power, do not bring a slanderous charge against them before the Lord.[a] 12 But these people, like irrational animals—creatures of instinct born to be caught and destroyed—slander what they do not understand, and in their destruction they too will be destroyed. 13 They will be paid back with harm for the harm they have done. They consider it a pleasure to carouse in broad daylight. They are spots and blemishes, delighting in their deceptions[b] while they feast with you. 14 They have eyes full of adultery(B) that never stop looking for sin. They seduce unstable people and have hearts trained in greed. Children under a curse!(C) 15 They have gone astray by abandoning the straight path(D) and have followed the path of Balaam,(E) the son of Bosor,[c] who loved the wages of wickedness(F) 16 but received a rebuke for his lawlessness: A speechless donkey spoke with a human voice and restrained the prophet’s madness.(G)
