2 Peter 2:3-5
New Catholic Bible
3 In their greed they will exploit you with concocted stories.
The Condemnation of False Teachers. However, their condemnation has been hanging over them for a long time, and the destruction awaiting them does not slumber. 4 For God did not spare the angels who sinned, but he cast them into the dark abyss to be chained, where they are being held until the judgment.[a] 5 Nor did he spare the ancient world,[b] even though he saved Noah, a herald of righteousness, one of eight, when he brought a flood upon the world with its godless people.
