2 Peter 2:17-20 These men are springs without water, storm-driven mists for whom the blackness of darkness is reserved.

Riverside⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁷ These men are springs without water, storm-driven mists for whom the blackness of darkness is reserved. ¹⁸ For by speaking great empty swelling words they entrap in the passions of the flesh — wanton excesses — those who are nearly escaping from those who live in error. ¹⁹ While they promise them liberty they themselves are the slaves of corruption; for by whatever any one is overcome to that he is enslaved. ²⁰ For if, after they have escaped the defilement of the world by the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they have been again entangled and overcome, their last state has become worse than the first.
