2 Peter 2:17 in Context — 2 Peter 2
15 Après avoir quitté le droit chemin, ils se sont égarés en suivant la voie de Balaam, fils de Bosor, qui aima le salaire de l’iniquité,
16 mais qui fut repris pour sa transgression: une ânesse muette, faisant entendre une voix d’homme, arrêta la démence du prophète.
17 Ces gens-là sont des fontaines sans eau, des nuées que chasse un tourbillon: l’obscurité des ténèbres leur est réservée.
18 Avec des discours enflés de vanité, ils amorcent par les convoitises de la chair, par les dissolutions, ceux qui viennent à peine d’échapper aux hommes qui vivent dans l’égarement;
19 ils leur promettent la liberté, quand ils sont eux-mêmes esclaves de la corruption, car chacun est esclave de ce qui a triomphé de lui.
