2 Peter 2:15-17
Tree of Life Version
2 Peter 2:15-17
Tree of Life Version
15 They have abandoned the straight way. They have gone astray. They have followed the way of Balaam the son of Beor,[a] who loved the wages of wickedness. 16 But he received a rebuke for his own wrongdoing. A dumb donkey spoke with a man’s voice and put a stop to the prophet’s madness.[b]
17 These people are springs without water and mists driven by a storm. The gloom of utter darkness has been reserved for them.

15 They have left the straight way and wandered off to follow the way of Balaam(A) son of Bezer,[a] 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.(B)
17 These people are springs without water(C) and mists driven by a storm. Blackest darkness is reserved for them.(D)
