New American Standard Bible
Chapter 2
12
But these, like unreasoning animals, born as creatures of instinct to be captured and killed, using abusive speech where they have no knowledge, will in the destruction of those creatures also be destroyed,
13
suffering wrong as the wages of doing wrong. They count it a pleasure to revel in the daytime. They are stains and blemishes, reveling in their deceptions as they feast with you,
14
having eyes full of adultery that never cease from sin, enticing unstable souls, having hearts trained in greed, accursed children;
15
abandoning the right way, they have gone astray, having followed the way of Balaam, the
son
of Beor, who loved the reward of unrighteousness;
16
but he received a rebuke for his own offense,
for
a mute donkey, speaking with a human voice, restrained the insanity of the prophet.
17
These are springs without water and mists driven by a storm, for whom the black darkness has been reserved.
18
For, while speaking out arrogant
words
of no value they entice by fleshly desires, by indecent behavior, those who barely escape from the ones who live in error,
King James Version
Chapter 2
12
But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption;
13
And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, as they that count it pleasure to riot in the day time. Spots they are and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you;
14
Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children:
15
Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness;
16
But was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb ass speaking with man's voice forbad the madness of the prophet.
17
These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever.
18
For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 2
12
But these people, like irrational animals—creatures of instinct born to be caught and destroyed—slander what they do not understand, and in their destruction they too will be destroyed.
13
They will be paid back with harm for the harm they have done. They consider it a pleasure to carouse in broad daylight. They are spots and blemishes, delighting in their deceptions while they feast with you.
14
They have eyes full of adultery that never stop looking for sin. They seduce unstable people and have hearts trained in greed. Children under a curse!
15
They have gone astray by abandoning the straight path and have followed the path of Balaam, the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of wickedness
16
but received a rebuke for his lawlessness: A speechless donkey spoke with a human voice and restrained the prophet’s madness.
17
These people are springs without water, mists driven by a storm. The gloom of darkness has been reserved for them.
18
For by uttering boastful, empty words, they seduce, with fleshly desires and debauchery, people who have barely escaped from those who live in error.
New Living Translation
Chapter 2
12
These false teachers are like unthinking animals, creatures of instinct, born to be caught and destroyed. They scoff at things they do not understand, and like animals, they will be destroyed.
13
Their destruction is their reward for the harm they have done. They love to indulge in evil pleasures in broad daylight. They are a disgrace and a stain among you. They delight in deception even as they eat with you in your fellowship meals.
14
They commit adultery with their eyes, and their desire for sin is never satisfied. They lure unstable people into sin, and they are well trained in greed. They live under God’s curse.
15
They have wandered off the right road and followed the footsteps of Balaam son of Beor, who loved to earn money by doing wrong.
16
But Balaam was stopped from his mad course when his donkey rebuked him with a human voice.
17
These people are as useless as dried-up springs or as mist blown away by the wind. They are doomed to blackest darkness.
18
They brag about themselves with empty, foolish boasting. With an appeal to twisted sexual desires, they lure back into sin those who have barely escaped from a lifestyle of deception.
English Standard Version
Chapter 2
12
But these, like irrational animals, creatures of instinct, born to be caught and destroyed, blaspheming about matters of which they are ignorant, will also be destroyed in their destruction,
13
suffering wrong as the wage for their wrongdoing. They count it pleasure to revel in the daytime. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their deceptions, while they feast with you.
14
They have eyes full of adultery, insatiable for sin. They entice unsteady souls. They have hearts trained in greed. Accursed children!
15
Forsaking the right way, they have gone astray. They have followed the way of Balaam, the son of Beor, who loved gain from wrongdoing,
16
but was rebuked for his own transgression; a speechless donkey spoke with human voice and restrained the prophet 's madness.
17
These are waterless springs and mists driven by a storm. For them the gloom of utter darkness has been reserved.
18
For, speaking loud boasts of folly, they entice by sensual passions of the flesh those who are barely escaping from those who live in error.
New International Version
Chapter 2
12
But these people blaspheme in matters they do not understand. They are like unreasoning animals, creatures of instinct, born only to be caught and destroyed, and like animals they too will perish.
13
They will be paid back with harm for the harm they have done. Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures while they feast with you.
14
With eyes full of adultery, they never stop sinning; they seduce the unstable; they are experts in greed—an accursed brood!
15
They have left the straight way and wandered off to follow the way of Balaam son of Bezer, who loved the wages of wickedness.
16
But he was rebuked for his wrongdoing by a donkey—an animal without speech—who spoke with a human voice and restrained the prophet’s madness.
17
These people are springs without water and mists driven by a storm. Blackest darkness is reserved for them.
18
For they mouth empty, boastful words and, by appealing to the lustful desires of the flesh, they entice people who are just escaping from those who live in error.
New King James Version
Chapter 2
12
But these, like natural brute beasts made to be caught and destroyed, speak evil of the things they do not understand, and will utterly perish in their own corruption,
13
and
will receive the wages of unrighteousness, as those who count it pleasure to carouse in the daytime.
They are
spots and blemishes, carousing in their own deceptions while they feast with you,
14
having eyes full of adultery and that cannot cease from sin, enticing unstable souls. They have a heart trained in covetous practices,
and are
accursed children.
15
They have forsaken the right way and gone astray, following the way of Balaam 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
These are wells without water, clouds carried by a tempest, for whom is reserved the blackness of darkness forever.
18
For when they speak great swelling
words
of emptiness, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through lewdness, the ones who have actually escaped from those who live in error.
