2 Peter 2:19

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.

20 For if, after they ^ahave escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are ^bagain entangled in them and overcome, the latter end is worse for them than the beginning.

21 For ^ait would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than having known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered to them.

22 But it has happened to them according to the true proverb: ^a“A dog returns to his own vomit,” and, “a sow, having washed, to her wallowing in the mire.”
