This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Raging (ἄγρια)
Rev., wild, which is better, as implying quality rather than act. Waves, by nature untamed. The act or expression of the nature is given by the next word.
Foaming out (ἐπαφρίζοντα)
Only here in New Testament. Compare Isa 57:20.
Shame (αἰσχύνας)
Lit., shames or disgraces.
Wandering stars
Compare 2Pe 2:17. Possibly referring to comets, which shine a while and then pass into darkness. “They belong not to the system: they stray at random and without law, and must at last be severed from the lights which rule while they are ruled” (Lumby).
Blackness (ζόφος)
See on 2Pe 2:4.
Of darkness (τοῦ σκότους)
Lit., “the darkness,” the article pointing back to the darkness already mentioned, Jud 1:6.
