2 Peter 2 4-2 Peter 2 9
God did not spare angels when they sinned. Instead, he sent them to hell. He chained them up in dark prisons. He will keep them there until he judges them.God did not spare the world’s ungodly people long ago. He brought the flood on them. But Noah preached about the right way to live. God kept him safe. He also saved seven others.God judged the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. He burned them to ashes. He made them an example of what is going to happen to ungodly people.God saved Lot, a man who did what was right. Lot was shocked by the evil conduct of people who didn’t obey God’s laws.That good man lived among them day after day. He saw and heard the evil things they were doing. They were breaking God’s laws. And the godly spirit of Lot was deeply troubled.Since all this is true, then the Lord knows how to save godly people. He knows how to keep them safe in times of testing. The Lord also knows how to keep ungodly people under guard. He will do so until the day they will be judged and punished.

-
Proverbs 11:3-5
Those who do what is right are guided by their honest lives. But those who aren’t faithful are destroyed by their lies.Wealth isn’t worth anything when God judges you. But doing what is right saves you from death.The ways of honest people are made straight because they do what is right. But those who do what is wrong are brought down by their own sins.

Habakkuk 2:9-12
“ How terrible it will be for the Babylonians! They build their kingdom with money that they gained by cheating others. They have tried to make the kingdom as secure as possible. After all, they did not want to be destroyed.They have planned to wipe out many nations. But they have brought shame on their own kingdom. So they must pay with their own lives.The stones in the walls of their homes will cry out. And the wooden beams will echo that cry.“ How terrible it will be for the Babylonians! They build cities by spilling the blood of others. They establish towns by doing what is wrong.
-
Job 18:14-21
They are torn away from the safety of their tents. They are marched off to the one who rules over death.Fire races through their tents. Burning sulfur is scattered over their homes.Their roots dry up under them. Their branches dry up above them.No one on earth remembers them. Their names are forgotten in the land.They are driven from light into the place of darkness. They are thrown out of the world.Their family dies out among their people. No one is left where they used to live.What has happened to them shocks the people in the west. It terrifies the people in the east.Now you know what the homes of sinners are like. Those who don’t know God live in places like that.”
-

Job 27:13-23
“ Here’s what God does to sinful people. Here’s what those who are mean receive from the Mighty One.All their children will be killed by swords. They’ll never have enough to eat.A plague will kill those who are left alive. The widows of sinful men won’t even weep over their own children.Sinners might store up silver like dust and clothes like piles of clay.But people who do what is right will wear those clothes. People who haven’t done anything wrong will divide up that silver.The house an evil person builds is like a moth’s cocoon. It’s like a hut that’s made by someone on guard duty.Sinful people lie down wealthy, but their wealth is taken away. When they open their eyes, everything is gone.Terrors sweep over them like a flood. A storm takes them away during the night.The east wind carries them off, and they are gone. It sweeps them out of their houses.It blows against them without mercy. They try to escape from its power.It claps its hands and makes fun of them. It hisses them out of their houses.”
