2Peter:2:11-32
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Whereas angels ,
which are greater in power and might ,
bring not railing accusation against them before the Lord .
*
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 ;
*
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 ;
*
Having eyes full of adultery ,
and that cannot cease from sin ;
beguiling unstable souls :
an heart they have exercised with covetous practices ;
cursed children :
*
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 ;
*
But was rebuked for his iniquity :
the dumb ass speaking with man '
s voice forbad the madness of the prophet .
*
These are wells without water ,
clouds that are carried with a tempest ;
to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever .
*
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 .
*
While they promise them liberty ,
they themselves are the servants of corruption :
for of whom a man is overcome ,
of the same is he brought in bondage .
*
For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ ,
they are again entangled therein ,
and overcome ,
the latter end is worse with them than the beginning .
*
For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness ,
than ,
after they have known it ,
to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them .
*
But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb ,
The dog is turned to his own vomit again ;
and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire .
