The apostle Peter wrote: “God did not hold back from punishing the angels that sinned, but, by throwing them into Tartarus, delivered them to pits of dense darkness to be reserved for judgment; and he did not hold back from punishing an ancient world, but kept Noah, a preacher of righteousness, safe with seven others when he brought a deluge upon a world of ungodly people. ” ​ — 2 Peter 2: 4, 5.
השליח פטרוס כתב: ” אלוהים לא חס על המלאכים החוטאים, אלא הורידם אל תחתיות ארץ ונתנם בכבלי אופל לשומרם למשפט.
