Jamieson, Fausset & Brown · 1871
2Pet 2:5 · Douay-Rheims
“And spared not the original world, but preserved Noe, the eighth person, the preacher of justice, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly.”
On this verse:
“eighth--that is, Noah, and seven others. Contrasted with the densely peopled "world of the ungodly." preacher--not only "righteous" himself (compare Pe2 2:8), but also "a preacher of righteousness": adduced by Peter against the licentiousness of the false teachers (Pe2 2:2) who have no prospect before them but destruction, even as it overtook the ungodly world in Noah's days.”
