English Standard Version
2 Peter 2:10-18
English Standard Version
10 and especially (A)those who indulge[a] in the lust of defiling passion and (B)despise authority.
Bold and willful, they do not tremble (C)as they blaspheme the glorious ones, 11 (D)whereas angels, though greater in might and power, do not pronounce a blasphemous judgment against them before the Lord. 12 (E)But these, like irrational animals, (F)creatures of instinct, born to be caught and destroyed, blaspheming about matters of which they are ignorant, will also be destroyed in their destruction, 13 suffering wrong as (G)the wage for their wrongdoing. They count it pleasure (H)to revel in the daytime. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their deceptions,[b] while (I)they feast with you. 14 They have eyes full of adultery,[c] (J)insatiable for sin. They entice unsteady souls. They have hearts (K)trained in greed. (L)Accursed children! 15 Forsaking the right way, (M)they have gone astray. They have followed (N)the way of Balaam, the son of Beor, who loved (O)gain from wrongdoing, 16 but was rebuked for his own transgression; (P)a speechless donkey spoke with human voice and restrained the prophet's madness.
17 (Q)These are waterless springs and mists driven by a storm. (R)For them the gloom of utter darkness has been reserved. 18 For, (S)speaking loud boasts of folly, they entice by sensual passions of the flesh those who are barely (T)escaping from those who live in error.

New International Version
2 Peter 2:10-18
New International Version
10 This is especially true of those who follow the corrupt desire(A) of the flesh[a] and despise authority.
Bold and arrogant, they are not afraid to heap abuse on celestial beings;(B) 11 yet even angels, although they are stronger and more powerful, do not heap abuse on such beings when bringing judgment on them from[b] the Lord.(C) 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.(D)
13 They will be paid back with harm for the harm they have done. Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight.(E) They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures while they feast with you.[c](F) 14 With eyes full of adultery, they never stop sinning; they seduce(G) the unstable;(H) they are experts in greed(I)—an accursed brood!(J) 15 They have left the straight way and wandered off to follow the way of Balaam(K) son of Bezer,[d] who loved the wages of wickedness. 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.(L)
17 These people are springs without water(M) and mists driven by a storm. Blackest darkness is reserved for them.(N) 18 For they mouth empty, boastful words(O) and, by appealing to the lustful desires of the flesh, they entice people who are just escaping(P) from those who live in error.

Therefore your daughters play the whore,

Baal Worship at Peor
25 While Israel lived in (A)Shittim, (B)the people began to whore with the daughters of Moab. 2 (C)These invited the people to the sacrifices of their gods, and the people ate and bowed down to their gods. 3 So Israel yoked himself to Baal of Peor. And the anger of the Lord was kindled against Israel. 4 And the Lord said to Moses, (D)“Take all the chiefs of the people and (E)hang[a] them in the sun before the Lord, (F)that the fierce anger of the Lord may turn away from Israel.” 5 And Moses said to (G)the judges of Israel, (H)“Each of you kill those of his men who have yoked themselves to Baal of Peor.”
6 And behold, one of the people of Israel came and brought a Midianite woman to his family, in the sight of Moses and in the sight of the whole congregation of the people of Israel, while they were (I)weeping in the entrance of the tent of meeting.

Moab Seduces Israel
25 While Israel was staying in Shittim,(A) the men began to indulge in sexual immorality(B) with Moabite(C) women,(D) 2 who invited them to the sacrifices(E) to their gods.(F) The people ate the sacrificial meal and bowed down before these gods. 3 So Israel yoked themselves to(G) the Baal of Peor.(H) And the Lord’s anger burned against them.
4 The Lord said to Moses, “Take all the leaders(I) of these people, kill them and expose(J) them in broad daylight before the Lord,(K) so that the Lord’s fierce anger(L) may turn away from Israel.”
5 So Moses said to Israel’s judges, “Each of you must put to death(M) those of your people who have yoked themselves to the Baal of Peor.”(N)
6 Then an Israelite man brought into the camp a Midianite(O) woman right before the eyes of Moses and the whole assembly of Israel while they were weeping(P) at the entrance to the tent of meeting.

Jude 7-13
English Standard Version
7 just as (A)Sodom and Gomorrah and (B)the surrounding cities, which likewise indulged in sexual immorality and (C)pursued unnatural desire,[a] serve as an example by undergoing a punishment of eternal fire.
8 Yet in like manner these people also, relying on their dreams, defile the flesh, reject authority, and (D)blaspheme the glorious ones. 9 But when (E)the archangel (F)Michael, contending with the devil, was disputing (G)about the body of Moses, he did not presume to pronounce a blasphemous judgment, but said, (H)“The Lord rebuke you.” 10 (I)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 (J)the way of Cain and abandoned themselves for the sake of gain (K)to Balaam's error and (L)perished in Korah's rebellion. 12 These are hidden reefs[b] (M)at your love feasts, as they feast with you without fear, (N)shepherds feeding themselves; (O)waterless clouds, (P)swept along by winds; fruitless trees in late autumn, twice dead, (Q)uprooted; 13 (R)wild waves of the sea, casting up the foam of (S)their own shame; (T)wandering stars, (U)for whom the gloom of utter darkness has been reserved forever.

7 In a similar way, Sodom and Gomorrah(A) and the surrounding towns(B) gave themselves up to sexual immorality and perversion. They serve as an example of those who suffer the punishment of eternal fire.(C)
8 In the very same way, on the strength of their dreams these ungodly people pollute their own bodies, reject authority and heap abuse on celestial beings.(D) 9 But even the archangel(E) Michael,(F) when he was disputing with the devil about the body of Moses,(G) did not himself dare to condemn him for slander but said, “The Lord rebuke you!”[a](H) 10 Yet these people slander whatever they do not understand, and the very things they do understand by instinct—as irrational animals do—will destroy them.(I)
11 Woe to them! They have taken the way of Cain;(J) they have rushed for profit into Balaam’s error;(K) they have been destroyed in Korah’s rebellion.(L)
12 These people are blemishes at your love feasts,(M) eating with you without the slightest qualm—shepherds who feed only themselves.(N) They are clouds without rain,(O) blown along by the wind;(P) autumn trees, without fruit and uprooted(Q)—twice dead. 13 They are wild waves of the sea,(R) foaming up their shame;(S) wandering stars, for whom blackest darkness has been reserved forever.(T)
