2 Peter 2:15-18 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

15. They have left the true road and have gone down the wrong path by following the example of the prophet Balaam. He was the son of Beor and loved what he got from being a criminal.

16. But a donkey corrected him for this evil deed. It spoke to him with a human voice and made him stop his foolishness.

17. These people are like dried-up water holes and clouds blown by a storm. The darkest part of hell is waiting for them.

18. They boast out loud about their stupid nonsense. And by being vulgar and crude, they trap people who have barely escaped from living the wrong kind of life.
