2 Peter 2:17-19
Evangelical Heritage Version
17 These men are wells without water, clouds driven away by a windstorm, for whom the gloom of darkness has been reserved.[a] 18 For by uttering arrogant, empty words, they use the depraved lusts of the flesh to seduce those who are barely[b] escaping from those who live in error. 19 While they promise these people freedom, they themselves are slaves to corruption, for a person is a slave to what has control of him.

2 Peter 2:17-19
New International Version
17 These people are springs without water(A) and mists driven by a storm. Blackest darkness is reserved for them.(B) 18 For they mouth empty, boastful words(C) and, by appealing to the lustful desires of the flesh, they entice people who are just escaping(D) from those who live in error. 19 They promise them freedom, while they themselves are slaves of depravity—for “people are slaves to whatever has mastered them.”(E)
