— 2 Peter 2:17, World English Bible
“These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever.”
“These are springs without water, and mists driven by a storm; for whom the blackness of darkness hath been reserved. ”
“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.”

These are wells without water, clouds driven by a storm; for whom the blackness of darkness has been reserved forever.
For, uttering great swelling words of emptiness, they entice in the lusts of the flesh, by licentiousness, those who are indeed escaping from those who live in error;
