“These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever.”
“These are wells without water, clouds driven by a storm; for whom the blackness of darkness has been reserved forever.”
“These men are waterless springs and mists driven by a storm, for whom the utter depths of darkness have been reserved.”
“These are fountains without water and clouds tossed with whirlwinds, to whom the mist of darkness is reserved.”
“These are fountains without water, and mists before a driving storm; for whom the eternal night is kept in store.”
“These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever.”
having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; enticing unstedfast souls; having a heart exercised in covetousness; children of cursing;
forsaking the right way, they went astray, having followed the way of Balaam the son of Beor, who loved the hire of wrong-doing;

These are springs without water, and mists driven by a storm; for whom the blackness of darkness hath been reserved.
For, uttering great swelling words of vanity, they entice in the lusts of the flesh, by lasciviousness, those who are just escaping from them that live in error;
promising them liberty, while they themselves are bondservants of corruption; for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he also brought into bondage.
For if, after they have escaped the defilements of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein and overcome, the last state is become worse with them than the first.
