Bible: 2 Peter 2:9-12
2:9 – if so, 1 then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from their trials, 2 and to reserve the unrighteous for punishment 3 at the day of judgment, 2:10 especially those who indulge their fleshly desires 4 and who despise authority.
Brazen and insolent, 5 they are not afraid to insult 6 the glorious ones, 7 2:11 yet even 8 angels, who are much more powerful, 9 do not bring a slanderous 10 judgment against them before the Lord. 11 2:12 But 12 these men, 13 like irrational animals – creatures of instinct, born to be caught and destroyed 14 – do not understand whom 15 they are insulting, and consequently 16 in their destruction they will be destroyed, 17
