Rotherham(i)
14 Having, eyes, full of an adulteress, and that cannot rest from sin, enticing unstable souls, having, a heart trained in greed,––children of a curse,––

17 These, are fountains without water, and mists, by a tempest, driven along,––for whom, the gloom of darkness, hath been reserved;
18 For, great swelling words of vanity, uttering, they entice with carnal covetings––in wanton ways––them who are, well–nigh, escaping from the men who, in error, have their behaviour;
19 Promising, freedom to them, they themselves, being all the while, slaves of corruption,––for, by whom one hath been defeated, by the same, hath he become enslaved,––
