Doom of False Teachers

⁴ For if God did not spare the angels who sinned, but cast them down to ^[a]hell and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved for judgment;

¹⁸ having their understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the ^(A)blindness of their heart;

⁸ Just as it is written:

²¹ because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but ^(A)became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened.

⁶⁴ “Then the Lord ^(A)will scatter you among all peoples, from one end of the earth to the other, and ^(B)there you shall serve other gods, which neither you nor your fathers have known—wood and stone. ⁶⁵ And ^(C)among those nations you shall find no rest, nor shall the sole of your foot have a resting place; ^(D)but there the Lord will give you a ^[a]trembling heart, failing eyes, and ^(E)anguish of soul. ⁶⁶ Your life shall hang in doubt before you; you shall fear day and night, and have no assurance of life. ^67 (F)In the morning you shall say, ‘Oh, that it were evening!’ And at evening you shall say, ‘Oh, that it were morning!’ because of the fear which terrifies your heart, and ^(G)because of the sight which your eyes see.

⁶⁸ “And the Lord ^(H)will take you back to Egypt in ships, by the way of which I said to you, ^(I)‘You shall never see it again.’ And there you shall be offered for sale to your enemies as male and female slaves, but no one will buy you.”

^13 (A)raging waves of the sea, ^(B)foaming up their own shame; wandering stars ^(C)for whom is reserved the blackness of darkness forever.

⁶ And the angels who did not keep their ^[a]proper domain, but left their own abode, He has reserved in everlasting chains under darkness for the judgment of the great day;
