In context

7And if He rescued Lot, a righteous man distressed by the depraved conduct of the lawless

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

9If all this is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials and to hold the unrighteous for punishment on the day of judgment.

10Such punishment is specially reserved for those who indulge the corrupt desires of the flesh and despise authority. Bold and self-willed, they are unafraid to slander glorious beings.

11Yet not even angels, though greater in strength and power, dare to bring such slanderous charges against them before the Lord.
