They are not afraid to slander the glorious ones; 11 however, angels, who are greater in might and power, do not bring a slanderous charge against them before the Lord.[a] 12 But these people, like irrational animals – creatures of instinct born to be caught and destroyed – slander what they do not understand, and in their destruction they too will be destroyed.

New International Version
10 This is especially true of those who follow the corrupt desire(A) of the flesh[a] and despise authority.

They are like unreasoning animals, creatures of instinct, born only to be caught and destroyed, and like animals they too will perish.(D)
