Jeremiah 7:25
From the day when your fathers came out of Egypt till this day, I have sent my servants the prophets to you, getting up early every day and sending them:

Romans 10:15
And how will there be preachers if they are not sent? As it is said, How beautiful are the feet of those who give the glad news of good things.

2 Peter 2:12
But these men, like beasts without reason, whose natural use is to be taken and put to death, crying out against things of which they have no knowledge, will undergo that same destruction which they are designing for others;

2 Peter 2:14
Having 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;

2 Peter 2:15
Turning 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;

2 Peter 2:16
But his wrongdoing was pointed out to him: an ass, talking with a man's voice, put a stop to the error of the prophet.

2 Peter 2:17
These are fountains without water, and mists before a driving storm; for whom the eternal night is kept in store.
