16 but he received a rebuke for his own offense, for a mute donkey, speaking with a human voice, restrained the insanity of the prophet.
17 These are springs without water and mists driven by a storm, for whom the [a]black darkness has been reserved.
Verse 16
From what I read this verse is refers to Balaam which we talked about yesterday,
Rebuke refers to the angel that Peter is talking about but also to what the next part of the verse is saying a donkey.
The DRA Bible Says dumb beast.
So, this donkey was mute but spoke with a human voice.
Instead of insanity, other versions use madness, folly, foolishness, and irrationality.
Madness is what the ASV uses and that to me says it all that the prophets were doing things that were not right.
So the Doney restrained the madness they were doing.
16 but Balaam was stopped from his mad course when his donkey spoke to him with a human voice, scolding and rebuking him. 2 Peter 2:16 TLB
21 So Balaam arose in the morning, saddled his donkey, and went with the leaders of Moab. Numbers 22:21
Verse 17
Spring without water refers to comparing people who are seducers- false teachers.
Other versions use wells without water.
CEB uses false teachers are spiring without water.
Mist driven by storms refers to people who do not do good knowing the truth of God.
Clouds that are carried away is what some other versions say.
The TLB says promising much and delivering nothing.
Darkness- refers to hell as it set forth.
CEV says the darkest part of hell is waiting for them.
These men are as useless as dried-up springs of water, promising much and delivering nothing; they are as unstable as clouds driven by the storm winds. They are doomed to the eternal pits of darkness. 2 Peter 2:17 TLB
12 These are the ones who are hidden reefs in your love feasts when they feast with you without fear, like shepherds caring only for themselves; clouds without water, carried along by winds; autumn trees without fruit, doubly dead, uprooted; Jude 1:12
