2 Peter 2:16 Context
14Hauing eyes ful of adulterie and that cannot cease from sinne, beguiling vnstable soules: an heart they haue exercised with couetous practises: cursed children: 15Which haue forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam the sonne of Bosor, who loued the wages of vnrighteousnesse, 16But was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumbe asse speaking with mais voice, forbade the madnesse of the Prophet. 17These are welles without water, cloudes that are caried with a tempest, to whom the mist of darkenesse is reserued for euer. 18For when they speake great svelling words of vanitie, they alure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonnesse, those that were cleane escaped from them who liue in errour.
