2 Peter 2:11-13
Revised Standard Version
11 whereas angels, though greater in might and power, do not pronounce a reviling judgment upon them before the Lord. 12 But these, like irrational animals, creatures of instinct, born to be caught and killed, reviling in matters of which they are ignorant, will be destroyed in the same destruction with them, 13 suffering wrong for their wrongdoing. They count it pleasure to revel in the daytime. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their dissipation,[a] carousing with you.

2 Peter 2:11-13
New International Version
11 yet even angels, although they are stronger and more powerful, do not heap abuse on such beings when bringing judgment on them from[a] the Lord.(A) 12 But these people blaspheme in matters they do not understand. They are like unreasoning animals, creatures of instinct, born only to be caught and destroyed, and like animals they too will perish.(B)
13 They will be paid back with harm for the harm they have done. Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight.(C) They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures while they feast with you.[b](D)
