1. But know this, that in the last days hard times shall come.
2. For men shall be lovers of self, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, thankless, wrong-doers,
3. unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, haters of good,
4. betrayers, reckless, puffed up, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of Elohim,
5. having a form of reverence but denying its power. And turn away from these!
6. For among them are those who creep into households and captivate silly women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts,
7. always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
8. And as Yoḥane and Mamrĕ opposed Mosheh, so do these also oppose the truth – men of corrupt minds, found worthless concerning the belief;
9. but they shall not go on further, for their folly shall be obvious to all, as also that of those men became.
