The Second Letter of Peter 2

2Now false prophets were also among the people, as false teachers will also be among you, who will bring in heresies of destruction, and denying the master who bought them, bringing swift destruction on themselves. 2And many will follow their licentious acts, because of whom the way of truth will be slandered. 3And in greed, they will exploit you with false words, for whom condemnation from long ago is not idle, and their destruction does not sleep. 4For if God did not spare angels who had sinned, but, in chains of darkness throwing down to Tartarus, he handed over those being kept for judgment;[fn] 5and he did not spare the ancient world, but protected the eighth, Noah, a preacher of righteousness, having brought a flood upon the world of the ungodly ones; 6and the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, having reduced to ashes, he condemned to destruction, having set an example of the things that are going to happen to the ungodly ones; 7and he rescued righteous Lot, being oppressed by the behavior of the lawless ones in licentiousness, 8(for, by seeing and by hearing, that righteous man, living among them day from day, was tormenting his righteous soul by lawless works); 9the Lord knows how to rescue godly ones from a trial, and to keep the unrighteous ones to be punished in the day of judgment, 10but especially the ones going after the flesh in its lusts of defilement, and despising authority. Audacious ones! Self-willed ones! They do not tremble while insulting glorious ones; 11whereas angels, being greater in strength and power, do not bring an insulting judgment against them in the presence of the Lord. 12But these men, as unreasoning animals, having by nature been born for capture and destruction, slandering about those things in which they are ignorant, they will also be destroyed in their destruction, 13being harmed as wages of unrighteousness, considering as pleasure the reveling in the day, stains and blemishes, reveling in their deceptions while feasting with you;[fn] 14having eyes full of an adulteress, and never ceasing from sin, enticing unstable souls, having hearts trained in covetousness, children of cursing. 15Abandoning the straight way, they have gone astray, having followed the way of Balaam of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness.[fn] 16But he had a rebuke for his own transgression—a mute donkey, having spoken in a voice of a man, restrained the irrationality of the prophet. 17These men are waterless springs and mists driven by a storm, for whom the gloom of darkness has been reserved. 18For, speaking arrogant things of vanity, they entice by lusts of the flesh, by licentious acts, the ones barely escaping from the ones living in error, 19promising freedom to them, while themselves being slaves of destruction. (For by what someone has been overcome, by this he has been enslaved.) 20For if, having escaped the defilements of the world through the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, but, having been entangled again, they have been overcome by these things, for them the last things have become worse than the first things. 21For it was better for them not to know the way of righteousness than, having known it, to turn away from the holy commandment that has been delivered to them. 22This of the true proverb has happened to them: “A dog returns to its own vomit, and a washed pig to the rolling of mud.”


Some other versions read, to be kept in pits of lower darkness until the judgment;

Other versions read, enjoying their actions while they are feasting with you in love feasts.

Some other versions read, Balaam, son of Beor.
