2 PETER 2:17 — KING JAMES VERSION 2 1
“These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever.”
These are waterless springs and mists driven by a storm; for them the gloom of utter darkness has been reserved — the metaphors of waterless springs and storm-driven mists suggest empty promises and instability. They present the appearance of provision while delivering nothing. The gloom (zophos) previously associated with Tartarus now awaits these false teachers, suggesting an eschatological destiny matching their present deception.
