Goodspeed(i)
10 especially those who yield to their physical nature and indulge in passions that defile them, and despise authority. Rash, headstrong men! They stand in no awe of majesty, but deride beings
11 against whom even angels far superior to these beings in strength and power bring no abusive charge before the Lord.
12 These men, like unreasoning animals, mere creatures of instinct created to be caught and killed, abuse what they do not understand and will be destroyed like animals,
13 suffering wrong as the reward for their wrongdoing. They find pleasure in the indulgence of the moment; they are a stain and a disgrace, and they revel in their deceit while they join in your religious meals.
14 They have eyes for nobody but adulterous women—eyes insatiable in sin. They lure unsteadfast souls. Their hearts are trained in greed. They are accursed!
15 They have left the straight path and gone astray. They have followed the path of Balaam, the son of Beor, who set his heart on dishonest gain,
16 but he was rebuked for his offense; a dumb animal spoke with a human voice and checked the prophet's madness.
17 Such men are dried-up springs, clouds driven before the storm, and they are doomed to utter darkness.
18 They utter arrogant nonsense and use physical cravings to lure into immorality men who are just escaping from among those who live in error;
19 promising them freedom when they are themselves slaves of destruction; for a man is the slave of whatever overcomes him.
20 For if after men have escaped the corrupting influences of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they again become entangled in them and are overcome by them, their final condition is worse than their former one.
