14. They have eyes full of adultery that cannot cease from sin. They entice unstable souls. Their hearts are trained in greed. They are cursed children!
15. They have forsaken the right way and have gone astray. They follow the way of Balaam the son of Beor, who loved the wages of wickedness,
16. but who was rebuked for his iniquity. The mute donkey speaking with a man’s voice constrained the madness of the prophet.
17. These men are wells without water and clouds that are carried by a storm, for whom the gloom of darkness has been reserved forever.
18. For when they speak arrogant words of vanity, they entice by the lusts of the flesh and by depravity those who barely escaped from those who live in error.
19. Although they promise them freedom, they themselves are slaves of corruption, for by that which a man is overcome, to this he is enslaved.
