2 Peter 2:15 · American Standard Version

2 Peter 2:15 in context

  1. 13receiving the wages of unrighteousness; people who count it pleasure to revel in the daytime, spots and defects, reveling in their deceit while they feast with you;
  2. 14having eyes full of adultery, and who can’t cease from sin; enticing unsettled souls; having a heart trained in greed; children of cursing;
  3. 15forsaking the right way, they went astray, having followed the way of Balaam the son of Beor, who loved the wages of wrongdoing;
  4. 16but he was rebuked for his own disobedience. A mute donkey spoke with a man’s voice and stopped the madness of the prophet.
  5. 17These are wells without water, clouds driven by a storm; for whom the blackness of darkness has been reserved forever.
