For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast [them] down to (c) hell, and delivered [them] into (d) chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;
(c) So the Greeks called the deep dungeons under the earth, which should be appointed to torment the souls of the wicked in.
(d) Bound them with darkness as with chains: and by darkness he means that most miserable state of life that is full of horror.
