2 Peter 3:3-7

Disciples’ Literal New Testament

³ knowing this first— that mockers will come with mocking in the last days, proceeding in accordance with their own desires, ⁴ and saying “Where is the promise^[a] of His coming? For from which day the fathers^[b] fell-asleep, everything is continuing in-this-manner^[c] from the beginning of creation”.

But God Has Destroyed The Ungodly Before, And He Will Do So Again

⁵ For this escapes-notice-of those who are willing^[d]— that by the word of God there were heavens from-long-ago, and an earth having existence out of water and by water, ⁶ through which^[e] the world at that time was destroyed^[f], having been flooded with water. ⁷ And by the same word the present heavens and earth have been stored-up for fire, being reserved for the day of the judgment and destruction of ungodly people.
