2 Peter 2:8-14 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

8. (for day after day that righteous man living among them was tormented in his righteous soul at the lawless deeds that he saw and heard),

9. then the Lord knows how to rescue the devout from trial and to keep the unrighteous under punishment for the day of judgment,

10. and especially those who follow the flesh with its depraved desire and show contempt for lordship. Bold and arrogant, they are not afraid to revile glorious beings,

11. whereas angels, despite their superior strength and power, do not bring a reviling judgment against them from the Lord.

12. But these people, like irrational animals born by nature for capture and destruction, revile things that they do not understand, and in their destruction they will also be destroyed,

13. suffering wrong as payment for wrongdoing. Thinking daytime revelry a delight, they are stains and defilements as they revel in their deceits while carousing with you.

14. Their eyes are full of adultery and insatiable for sin. They seduce unstable people, and their hearts are trained in greed. Accursed children!
