10 That punishment is especially for those who live by doing the evil things their sinful selves want and who hate authority.

These false teachers are bold and do anything they want. They are not afraid to speak against the angels. 11 But even the angels, who are much stronger and more powerful than false teachers, do not accuse them with insults before[a] the Lord. 12 But these people speak against things they do not understand. They are like animals that act without thinking, animals born to be caught and killed.
