2 Peter 2:17-19
Lexham English Bible
17 These people are waterless springs and mists driven by a hurricane, for whom the gloom of darkness has been reserved. 18 For by speaking high-sounding but empty words[a], they entice with desires of the flesh and with licentiousness those who are scarcely escaping from those who live in error, 19 promising them freedom although they[b] themselves are slaves of depravity. For to whatever someone succumbs, by this he is also[c] enslaved.
