Meaning
Riot ri'-ut: Properly, "unrestrained behavior" of any sort, but in modern English usually connoting mob action, although such phrases as a "riotous banquet" are still in common use. the King James Version uses the word in the first sense, and it is retained by the Revised Version (British and American) in Luk 15:13, Tit 1:6, 1Pe 4:4 for asotos, asotia, "having no hope of safety," "profligate]." In Pro 23:20, Pro 28:7 the Revised Version (British and American) has preferred "gluttonous," "glutton," in Ro 13:13, "revelling," and in 2Pe 2:13, "revel."
