|
# False prophets came to the people, and false teachers will also come to you

# their condemnation has not been idle, and their destruction is not asleep

Peter speaks of "condemnation" and "destruction" as if they are persons who act. The two phrases mean basically the same thing and emphasize how soon the false teachers will be condemned. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-personification]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-parallelism]])
|

|
# their condemnation has not been idle, and their destruction is not asleep
