2 Peter 2:17
Compare all
15 They have forsaken the right way and gone astray, following the way of aBalaam the son of Beor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness;  
16 but he was rebuked for his iniquity: a dumb donkey speaking with a man’s voice restrained the madness of the prophet.
17 aThese are wells without water,1 clouds carried by a tempest, for whom is reserved the blackness of darkness2 forever.  

Deceptions of False Teachers

18 For when they speak great swelling words of emptiness, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through lewdness, the ones who1 have actually escaped from those who live in error.  
19 While they promise them liberty, they themselves are slaves of1 corruption; afor by whom a person is overcome, by him also he is brought into2 bondage.  
20 For if, after they ahave escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are bagain entangled in them and overcome, the latter end is worse for them than the beginning.
