Jude 6–16
6 And the angels who did not keep their positions of authority but abandoned their proper dwelling—these he has kept in darkness, bound with everlasting chains for judgment on the great Day.q 7 In a similar way, Sodom and Gomorrahr and the surrounding townss gave themselves up to sexual immorality and perversion. They serve as an example of those who suffer the punishment of eternal fire.t
8 In the very same way, on the strength of their dreams these ungodly people pollute their own bodies, reject authority and heap abuse on celestial beings.u 9 But even the archangelv Michael,w when he was disputing with the devil about the body of Moses,x did not himself dare to condemn him for slander but said, “The Lord rebuke you!”d y 10 Yet these people slander whatever they do not understand, and the very things they do understand by instinct—as irrational animals do—will destroy them.z

14 Enoch,l the seventh from Adam, prophesied about them: “See, the Lord is comingm with thousands upon thousands of his holy onesn 15 to judgeo everyone, and to convict all of them of all the ungodly acts they have committed in their ungodliness, and of all the defiant words ungodly sinners have spoken against him.”e p 16 These people are grumblersq and faultfinders; they follow their own evil desires;r they boasts about themselves and flatter others for their own advantage.
