Exegesis
The verse begins with the fronted object elegxin {ἔλεγξιν | é-leg-xin} “rebuke,” giving prominence to formal censure before stating that eschen {ἔσχεν | é-schen} “he had” it as a consequence of idias paranomias {ἰδίας παρανομίας | i-dí-as pa-ra-no-mí-as} “his own transgression.”
In context — 2 Peter 2:16
But he received a rebuke for his own transgression; a mute beast of burden, speaking with the voice of a man, restrained the madness of the prophet .
