2 Peter 2:11-13
1599 Geneva Bible
11 Whereas the Angels which are greater both in power and might, give not railing judgment against them before the Lord.
12 [a]But these as natural brute beasts, led with sensuality and [b]made to be taken, and destroyed, speak evil of those things which they know not, and shall perish through their own [c]corruption.
13 And shall receive the wages of unrighteousness, as they which count it pleasure daily to live deliciously. [d]Spots they are and blots, delighting themselves in their deceivings, [e]in feasting with you.
