Depravity of False Teachers
12 But these, (B)like natural brute beasts made to be caught and destroyed, speak evil of the things they do not understand, and will utterly perish in their own corruption, 13 (C)and will receive the wages of unrighteousness, as those who count it pleasure (D)to [a]carouse in the daytime.

11 (A)whereas angels, though greater in might and power, do not pronounce a blasphemous judgment against them before the Lord. 12 (B)But these, like irrational animals, (C)creatures of instinct, born to be caught and destroyed, blaspheming about matters of which they are ignorant, will also be destroyed in their destruction, 13 suffering wrong as (D)the wage for their wrongdoing. They count it pleasure (E)to revel in the daytime. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their deceptions,[a] while (F)they feast with you.

2 Peter 2:11-13
New International Version
11 yet even angels, although they are stronger and more powerful, do not heap abuse on such beings when bringing judgment on them from[a] the Lord.(A) 12 But these people blaspheme in matters they do not understand. They are like unreasoning animals, creatures of instinct, born only to be caught and destroyed, and like animals they too will perish.(B)
13 They will be paid back with harm for the harm they have done. Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight.(C) They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures while they feast with you.[b](D)
