AUV(i)
11 while [those] angels, who are greater in strength and power than they, refuse to speak against such authorities, in condemnation, before the Lord.
12 However, these people are like unreasonable, ignorant creatures of instinct, born as animals which are [to be] caught and destroyed. They speak out against things about which they are ignorant. In [the process of] destroying others, they will certainly be destroyed themselves.
13 They suffer wrong themselves for doing wrong to other people. They consider it [especially] pleasurable to carry on their drunken revellings, [even] during the daytime. They become blots and blemishes [i.e., like spoiled food] in your fellowship meal, as they revel in their deceitful behavior.
14 Their eyes are filled with sexual lust, and they are never satisfied when it comes to sinning. They entice unstable people and have hearts trained to be greedy [i.e., they continually desire the possessions of others]. [In this condition] they are under God’s curse.
15 They strayed away [from God] by taking the wrong road like Balaam, the son of Bosor did, who loved the reward for doing wrong.
16 But Balaam was rebuked for his own wrongdoing by a speechless donkey, who spoke out in a man’s voice and prevented the prophet from continuing his foolishness.
17 Such people are like springs that give no water and clouds driven by the winds. [Only] the blackest darkness awaits them.
