2 Peter 2:11-13
New Catholic Bible
11 whereas angels, despite their superior strength and power, do not bring slanderous accusations against such men in the Lord’s presence.[a] 12 These men are like wild beasts, mere creatures of instinct born to be caught and killed.
They pour abuse on things they do not understand, and in their corruption they also will be destroyed, 13 receiving the penalty[b] for doing wrong. They regard it as a pleasure to carouse in broad daylight. While they share your table, they are ugly blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures.
