In context

7 and delivered righteous Lot, who was very distressed by the lustful life of the wicked

8 (for that righteous man dwelling among them was tormented in his righteous soul from day to day with seeing and hearing lawless deeds),

9 then the Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptation and to keep the unrighteous under punishment for the day of judgment,

11 whereas angels, though greater in might and power, don’t bring a slanderous judgment against them before the Lord.
