2 Peter 2:9-13

English Standard Version

⁹ then ^(A)the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials,^[a] and to keep the unrighteous under punishment until the day of judgment, ¹⁰ and especially ^(B)those who indulge^[b] in the lust of defiling passion and ^(C)despise authority.

Bold and willful, they do not tremble ^(D)as they blaspheme the glorious ones, ^11 (E)whereas angels, though greater in might and power, do not pronounce a blasphemous judgment against them before the Lord. ^12 (F)But these, like irrational animals, ^(G)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 ^(H)the wage for their wrongdoing. They count it pleasure ^(I)to revel in the daytime. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their deceptions,^[c] while ^(J)they feast with you.
