2 Peter 2:15

Balaam loved the wages of unrighteousness. His love was not for God, for truth, or for anything that is good and righteous. His love was for wages that derived from sin. He was a thoroughly evil character with an effective façade.

2 Peter 2:14-15

The apostle says false prophets have "eyes full of adultery." While this may apply literally, it can also more generally describe unfaithfulness—a willingness to abandon an agreement if they feel it is in their interest to do so. They also worry little about resisting sin. Their hearts are especially trained in covetousness, and like Balaam, they are willing to do just about anything for personal gain.

David C. Grabbe
What Is a False Prophet?



2 Peter 2:15

Balaam means "devourer," and Beor means "burning." From that, people have surmised that they were a family of cursing priest-diviners.
