⁴ God did not have pity on the angels that sinned. He had them tied up and thrown into the dark pits of hell until the time of judgment. ^5 (A) And during Noah's time, God did not have pity on the ungodly people of the world. He destroyed them with a flood, though he did save eight people, including Noah, who preached the truth.

^6 (B) God punished the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah^[a] by burning them to ashes, and this is a warning to anyone else who wants to sin.
