Verse 17. These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest, to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever. Verse 18. 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. Verse 19. While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage. Verse 20. For, if, after they have escaped the pollutions of the world, through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them then the beginning. Verse 21. For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, then after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them. Verse 22. But it is happened unto them according to the true Proverb; The Dog is turned to his own vomit again, and the Sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.
