2 Peter 2:17 - Forerunner Commentary

2 Peter 2:17

15 They have forsaken the right way and gone astray, following the way of ^aBalaam the son of Beor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness;

16 but he was rebuked for his iniquity: a dumb donkey speaking with a man’s voice restrained the madness of the prophet.

17 ^aThese are wells without water,¹ clouds carried by a tempest, for whom is reserved the blackness of darkness² forever.

Deceptions of False Teachers

18 For when they speak great swelling words of emptiness, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through lewdness, the ones who¹ have actually escaped from those who live in error.

19 While they promise them liberty, they themselves are slaves of¹ corruption; ^afor by whom a person is overcome, by him also he is brought into² bondage.
