2 Peter 2:9-11

Worldwide English (New Testament)

⁹ The Lord knows how to save good people out of the trouble that tests them. And he knows how to keep bad people until the day when he will judge them. And they are being punished even now.

¹⁰ Most of all, he will punish people who do the wrong things they want to do and who will not obey the men who rule over them. They are very bold and proud. They do not fear to say wrong things about those who are great, even about the angels.

¹¹ Angels have more strength and power than they. And yet the angels do not judge them and say wrong things about them to the Lord.
