2 Peter 2:17-19
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
17 These people are waterless springs and mists driven by a gale; for them the gloom of darkness has been reserved.(A) 18 For, talking empty bombast, they seduce with licentious desires of the flesh those who have barely escaped[a] from people who live in error.(B) 19 They promise them freedom, though they themselves are slaves of corruption, for a person is a slave of whatever overcomes him.(C)

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)
