2 Peter 2:15-19

abandoning the right way, they have gone astray, having followed the way of Balaam, the son of Beor, who loved the reward of unrighteousness;

but he received a rebuke for his own offense, for a mute donkey, speaking with a human voice, restrained the insanity of the prophet.

These are springs without water and mists driven by a storm, for whom the black darkness has been reserved.

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,

promising them freedom while they themselves are slaves of corruption; for by what anyone is overcome, by this he is enslaved.
