Jude 8–16

⁸Yet in the same way these dreamers also defile the flesh, reject authority, and slander the glorious ones.^{h* 9}But when the archangel Michael disputed with the devil and argued about the body of Moses, he did not dare to bring a condemnation of slanderⁱ against him but said, “The Lord rebuke you!”^{* 10}But these people slander whatever they do not understand, and they are destroyed by those things that, like irrational animals, they know by instinct. ¹¹Woe to them! For they go the way of Cain and abandon themselves to Balaam’s error for the sake of gain and perish in Korah’s rebellion.^{* 12}These are blots^j on your love feasts, while they feast with you without fear, feeding themselves.^k They are waterless clouds carried along by the winds; autumn trees without fruit, twice dead, uprooted;^{* 13}wild waves of the sea, casting up the foam of their own shame; wandering stars, for whom the deepest darkness has been reserved forever.^*

¹⁴It was also about these that Enoch, in the seventh generation from Adam, prophesied, saying, “See, the Lord is coming^l with ten thousands of his holy ones,^{* 15}to execute judgment on all and to convict all the ungodly^m of all the deeds of ungodliness that they have committed in such an ungodly way and of all the harsh things that ungodly sinners have spoken against him.” ¹⁶These are grumblers and malcontents; they indulge their lusts;ⁿ their mouths utter bombastic nonsense, flattering people to their own advantage.^*
