## 2 Peter 2:14-16 in Context (Verses 11–19 KJV)
 
 [11 ](/kjv/2-peter/2/11) Whereas angels, which are greater in power and might, bring not railing accusation against them before the Lord.
 
 [12 ](/kjv/2-peter/2/12) 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;
 
 [13 ](/kjv/2-peter/2/13) 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;
 
 [14 ](/kjv/2-peter/2/14) Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children:
 
 [15 ](/kjv/2-peter/2/15) 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;
 
 [16 ](/kjv/2-peter/2/16) But was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb ass speaking with man’s voice forbad the madness of the prophet.
 
 [17 ](/kjv/2-peter/2/17) These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever.
 
 [18 ](/kjv/2-peter/2/18) 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.
 
 [19 ](/kjv/2-peter/2/19) 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.
 
[2 Peter 1](/kjv/2-peter/1) [2 Peter 3](/kjv/2-peter/3)
