Exegesis
The dative of means anomois ergois {ἀνόμοις ἔργοις | a-nó-mois ér-gois} ‘by lawless deeds’ specifies the agents of his torment, which the imperfect verb ebasanizen {ἐβασάνιζεν | e-ba-sá-ni-zen} ‘was tormenting’ depicts as ongoing and repeated. English word order is adjusted for clarity while preserving key instrumental and temporal nuances.
In context — 2 Peter 2:8
For by sight and by hearing, that righteous man, living among them, was tormenting his righteous soul day after day with their lawless deeds.
