2 Peter 2:12
_ _ (Jude 1:19).
_ _ But — In contrast to the “angels,” 2 Peter 2:11.
_ _ brute — Greek, “irrational.” In contrast to angels that “excel in strength.”
_ _ beasts — Greek, “animals” (compare Psalms 49:20).
_ _ natural — transposed in the oldest manuscripts, “born natural,” that is, born naturally so: being in their very nature (that is, naturally) as such (irrational animals), born to be taken and destroyed (Greek, “unto capture and destruction,” or corruption, see on Galatians 6:8; compare end of this verse, “shall perish,” literally, “shall be corrupted,” in their own corruption. Jude 1:10, naturally ... corrupt themselves,” and so destroy themselves; for one and the same Greek word expresses corruption, the seed, and destruction, the developed fruit).
_ _ speak evil of — Greek, “in the case of things which they understand not.” Compare the same presumption, the parent of subsequent Gnostic error, producing an opposite, though kindred, error, the worshipping of good angels”: Colossians 2:18, “intruding into those things which he hath not seen.” |
2 Peter 2:12
Savage as brute beasts — Several of which in the present disordered state of the world, seem born to be taken and destroyed. |
2 Peter 2:12
(6) But these, as natural brute beasts, (l) made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their (m) own corruption;
(6) An accurate description of the same persons, in which they are compared to beasts who are made for destruction, while they give themselves to fill their bellies: For there is no greater ignorance than is in these men: although they most impudently find fault with those things of which they know not: and it shall come to pass that they shall destroy themselves as beasts with those pleasures with which they are delighted, and dishonour and defile the company of the godly.
(l) Made to this end to be a prey to others: So do these men willingly cast themselves into Satan's snares.
(m) Their own wicked conduct shall bring them to destruction. |
