6 and if He condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah to destruction by reducing them to ashes, making them an example to those afterward who would live ungodly lives;
7 and if He delivered righteous Lot, who was distressed by the filthy conduct of the wicked
8 (for that righteous man lived among them, and what he saw and heard of their lawless deeds tormented his righteous soul day after day);
9 then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trial, and to keep the unrighteous under punishment for the Day of Judgment,
10 especially those who walk after the flesh in pursuit of unclean desires, and despise authority.They are presumptuous and arrogant, and are not afraid to slander the angelic beings.
11 Whereas angels, who are greater in power and might, do not bring slanderous accusations against them before the Lord.
12 But these people are like irrational animals, born to be captured and destroyed. They speak evil of the things that they do not understand, and in their corruption they will be destroyed.
