2 Peter 2:17

---

← 2 Peter 2:16	2 Peter 2:17 (KJV)	2 Peter 2:18 →
But was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb ass speaking with man's voice forbad the madness of the prophet.	These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever.	For when they speak great swelling [words] of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, [through much] wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error.

Strong's References

• G165 — αἰών (aiṓn, ahee-ohn'): an age, a cycle of time — from the same as ἀεί; properly, an age; by extension, perpetuity (also past); by implication, the world; specially (Jewish) a Messianic period (present or future):--age, course, eternal, (for) ever(-more), (n-)ever, (beginning of the , while the) world (began, without end). Compare χρόνος.
• G504 — ἄνυδρος (ánydros, an'-oo-dros): without water, dry — from Α (as a negative particle) and ὕδωρ; waterless, i.e. dry:--dry, without water.

Often used in composition with the same general import, but only with verbs (etc.) expressing motion (literally or figuratively).

• G1643 — ἐλαύνω (elaúnō, el-ow'-no): I drive on, propel, row — a prolonged form of a primary verb (obsolete except in certain tenses as an alternative of this) of uncertain affinity; to push (as wind, oars or dæmonical power):--carry, drive, row.
• G2217 — ζόφος (zóphos, dzof'-os): darkness, murkiness — akin to the base of νέφος; gloom (as shrouding like a cloud):--blackness, darkness, mist.

In the comparative, it retains the same general applications, especially of inferior position or condition, and specially, covertly or moderately.
