Exegesis
The demonstrative houtoi {Οὗτοί | hoû-toí} functions as the subject, referring back to the false teachers in context, and is followed by the copula eisin {εἰσιν | eî-sin}, which introduces two parallel predicate nominatives—pēgai anydroi {πηγαὶ ἄνυδροι | pē-gaì á-ny-droi} and homikhlai {ὁμίχλαι | ho-mí-khlai}—linked by kai {καὶ | kaì} to portray empty metaphors of expectation and reality.
In context — 2 Peter 2:17
These are springs without water and mists driven by a storm; for them the gloom of darkness has been reserved.
