And I was soon in serious trouble in the assembly of God’s people.”

I was soon in deep trouble. It happened right in front of the whole assembly of God’s people.”

I am at the brink of utter ruin in the assembled congregation.”

I have come to the brink of utter ruin, and now I must face public disgrace.”

I am on the verge of complete ruin before the entire community.”

I was almost in total ruin In the midst of the assembly and congregation.”

I was on the verge of total ruin, In the midst of the assembly and congregation.”

I was well- nigh in all evil In the midst of the assembly and congregation.

I am on the verge of complete ruin before the entire community.”

I was almost in all evil in the midst of the congregation and assembly.

I almost came to complete ruin in the midst of the whole congregation!”

One who walks with wise men grows wise, but a companion of fools suffers harm.

but chiefly those who walk after the flesh in the lust of defilement and despise authority. Daring, self- willed, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignitaries;whereas angels, though greater in might and power, don’t bring a railing judgment against them before the Lord.But these, as unreasoning creatures, born natural animals to be taken and destroyed, speaking evil in matters about which they are ignorant, will in their destroying surely be destroyed,receiving the wages of unrighteousness; people who count it pleasure to revel in the daytime, spots and defects, reveling in their deceit while they feast with you;having eyes full of adultery, and who can’t cease from sin; enticing unsettled souls; having a heart trained in greed; children of cursing;forsaking the right way, they went astray, having followed the way of Balaam the son of Beor, who loved the wages of wrongdoing;but he was rebuked for his own disobedience. A mute donkey spoke with a man’s voice and stopped the madness of the prophet.These are wells without water, clouds driven by a storm; for whom the blackness of darkness has been reserved forever.For, uttering great swelling words of emptiness, they entice in the lusts of the flesh, by licentiousness, those who are indeed escaping from those who live in error;

Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.Don’t be idolaters, as some of them were. As it is written,“ The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.”Let’s not commit sexual immorality, as some of them committed, and in one day twenty- three thousand fell.

Prostitution, wine, and new wine take away understanding.My people consult with their wooden idol, and answer to a stick of wood. Indeed the spirit of prostitution has led them astray, and they have been unfaithful to their God.They sacrifice on the tops of the mountains, and burn incense on the hills, under oaks and poplars and terebinths, because its shade is good. Therefore your daughters play the prostitute, and your brides commit adultery.I will not punish your daughters when they play the prostitute, nor your brides when they commit adultery; because the men consort with prostitutes, and they sacrifice with the shrine prostitutes; so the people without understanding will come to ruin.

Israel stayed in Shittim; and the people began to play the prostitute with the daughters of Moab;for they called the people to the sacrifices of their gods. The people ate and bowed down to their gods.Israel joined himself to Baal Peor, and Yahweh’s anger burned against Israel.Yahweh said to Moses,“ Take all the chiefs of the people, and hang them up to Yahweh before the sun, that the fierce anger of Yahweh may turn away from Israel.”Moses said to the judges of Israel,“ Everyone kill his men who have joined themselves to Baal Peor.”Behold, one of the children of Israel came and brought to his brothers a Midianite woman in the sight of Moses, and in the sight of all the congregation of the children of Israel, while they were weeping at the door of the Tent of Meeting.

Even as Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities around them, having in the same way as these given themselves over to sexual immorality and gone after strange flesh, are shown as an example, suffering the punishment of eternal fire.Yet in the same way, these also in their dreaming defile the flesh, despise authority, and slander celestial beings.But Michael, the archangel, when contending with the devil and arguing about the body of Moses, dared not bring against him an abusive condemnation, but said,“ May the Lord rebuke you!”But these speak evil of whatever things they don’t know. They are destroyed in these things that they understand naturally, like the creatures without reason.Woe to them! For they went in the way of Cain, and ran riotously in the error of Balaam for hire, and perished in Korah’s rebellion.These are hidden rocky reefs in your love feasts when they feast with you, shepherds who without fear feed themselves; clouds without water, carried along by winds; autumn trees without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;wild waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, for whom the blackness of darkness has been reserved forever.
