2 Peter 2:2-3

Many will follow their depraved conduct and will bring the way of truth into disrepute. In their greed these teachers will exploit you with fabricated stories. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping.

Many will follow their depraved conduct 
Jude 4  For certain individuals whose condemnation was written about long ago have secretly slipped in among you. They are ungodly people, who pervert the grace of our God into a license for immorality and deny Jesus Christ our only Sovereign and Lord. 
Exodus 23:2a  "Do not follow the crowd in doing wrong."
Ezekiel 16:47  " 'You not only followed their ways and copied their detestable practices, but in all your ways you soon became more depraved than they.' "
Romans 1:28  Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done.
2 Timothy 3:8  Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so also these teachers oppose the truth. They are men of depraved minds, who, as far as faith is concerned, are rejected.

and will bring the way of truth into disrepute 
2 Corinthians 4:2  Rather, we have renounced secret and shameful ways; we do not use deception, nor do we distort the word of God. On the contrary, by setting forth the truth plainly we commend ourselves to everyone's conscience in the sight of God.

In their greed 
2 Peter 2:14  With eyes full of adultery, they never stop sinning; they seduce the unstable; they are experts in greed--an accursed brood!

these teachers will exploit you with fabricated stories 
2 Corinthians 2:17  Unlike so many, we do not peddle the word of God for profit. On the contrary, in Christ we speak before God with sincerity, as those sent from God.
1 Thessalonians 2:5  You know we never used flattery, nor did we put on a mask to cover up greed--God is our witness.

Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping 
Jeremiah 4:18  "Your own conduct and actions have brought this on you. This is your punishment. How bitter it is! How it pierces to the heart!"
Jeremiah 7:3  " 'The end is now upon you, and I will unleash my anger against you. I will judge you according to your conduct and repay you for all your detestable practices.' "
