13For the evil which overtakes them is the reward of their evil-doing: such men take their pleasure in the delights of the flesh even in the daytime; they are like the marks of a disease, like poisoned wounds among you, feasting together with you in joy;
14Having eyes full of evil desire, never having enough of sin; turning feeble souls out of the true way; they are children of cursing, whose hearts are well used to bitter envy;
15Turning out of the true way, they have gone wandering in error, after the way of Balaam, the son of Beor, who was pleased to take payment for wrongdoing;
16But his wrongdoing was pointed out to him: an ass, talking with a man's voice, put a stop to the error of the prophet.
17These are fountains without water, and mists before a driving storm; for whom the eternal night is kept in store.
18For with high-sounding false words, making use of the attraction of unclean desires of the flesh, they get into their power those newly made free from those who are living in error;
19Saying that they will be free, while they themselves are the servants of destruction; because whatever gets the better of a man makes a servant of him.
