Doom of False Teachers

For if God did not spare the angels who sinned, but cast them down to [a]hell and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved for judgment; and did not spare the ancient world, but saved Noah, one of eight people, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood on the world of the ungodly; and turning the cities of (A)Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes, condemned them to destruction, making them an example to those who afterward would live ungodly; and (B)delivered righteous Lot, who was oppressed by the filthy conduct of the wicked (for that righteous man, dwelling among them, (C)tormented his righteous soul from day to day by seeing and hearing their lawless deeds)— then (D)the Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptations and to reserve the unjust under punishment for the day of judgment,

(A)They gathered together against Moses and Aaron, and said to them, “You [a]take too much upon yourselves, for (B)all the congregation is holy, every one of them, (C)and the Lord is among them. Why then do you exalt yourselves above the assembly of the Lord?”

So when Moses heard it, he (D)fell on his face; and he spoke to Korah and all his company, saying, “Tomorrow morning the Lord will show who is (E)His and who is (F)holy,[b] and will cause him to come near to Him. That one whom He chooses He will cause to (G)come near to Him. Do this: Take censers, Korah and all your company; put fire in them and put incense in them before the Lord tomorrow, and it shall be that the man whom the Lord chooses is the holy one. You take too much upon yourselves, you sons of Levi!”

Then Moses said to Korah, “Hear now, you sons of Levi: Is it (H)a small thing to you that the God of Israel has (I)separated you from the congregation of Israel, to bring you near to Himself, to do the work of the tabernacle of the Lord, and to stand before the congregation to serve them; 10 and that He has brought you near to Himself, you and all your brethren, the sons of Levi, with you? And are you seeking the priesthood also? 11 Therefore you and all your company are gathered together against the Lord. (J)And what is Aaron that you complain against him?”

12 And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram the sons of Eliab, but they said, “We will not come up! 13 Is it a small thing that you have brought us up out of (K)a land flowing with milk and honey, to kill us in the wilderness, that you should (L)keep acting like a prince over us? 14 Moreover (M)you have not brought us into (N)a land flowing with milk and honey, nor given us inheritance of fields and vineyards. Will you put out the eyes of these men? We will not come up!”

15 Then Moses was very angry, and said to the Lord, (O)“Do not [c]respect their offering. (P)I have not taken one donkey from them, nor have I hurt one of them.”

16 And Moses said to Korah, “Tomorrow, you and all your company be present (Q)before the Lord—you and they, as well as Aaron. 17 Let each take his censer and put incense in it, and each of you bring his censer before the Lord, two hundred and fifty censers; both you and Aaron, each with his censer.” 18 So every man took his censer, put fire in it, laid incense on it, and stood at the door of the tabernacle of meeting with Moses and Aaron. 19 And Korah gathered all the congregation against them at the door of the tabernacle of meeting. Then (R)the glory of the Lord appeared to all the congregation.

20 And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying, 21 (S)“Separate yourselves from among this congregation, that I may (T)consume them in a moment.”

22 Then they (U)fell[d] on their faces, and said, “O God, (V)the God of the spirits of all flesh, shall one man sin, and You be angry with all the (W)congregation?”

23 So the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 24 “Speak to the congregation, saying, ‘Get away from the tents of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.’ ”

25 Then Moses rose and went to Dathan and Abiram, and the elders of Israel followed him. 26 And he spoke to the congregation, saying, (X)“Depart now from the tents of these wicked men! Touch nothing of theirs, lest you be consumed in all their sins.” 27 So they got away from around the tents of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram; and Dathan and Abiram came out and stood at the door of their tents, with their wives, their sons, and their little (Y)children.

28 And Moses said: (Z)“By this you shall know that the Lord has sent me to do all these works, for I have not done them (AA)of my own will. 29 If these men die naturally like all men, or if they are (AB)visited by the common fate of all men, then the Lord has not sent me. 30 But if the Lord creates (AC)a new thing, and the earth opens its mouth and swallows them up with all that belongs to them, and they (AD)go down alive into the pit, then you will understand that these men have rejected the Lord.”

31 (AE)Now it came to pass, as he finished speaking all these words, that the ground split apart under them, 32 and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them up, with their households and (AF)all the men with Korah, with all their goods. 33 So they and all those with them went down alive into the pit; the earth closed over them, and they perished from among the assembly. 34 Then all Israel who were around them fled at their cry, for they said, “Lest the earth swallow us up also!

35 And (AG)a fire came out from the Lord and consumed the two hundred and fifty men who were offering incense.
