Jude 10-20
New King James Version
10 (A)But these speak evil of whatever they do not know; and whatever they know naturally, like brute beasts, in these things they corrupt themselves. 11 Woe to them! For they have gone in the way (B)of Cain, (C)have run greedily in the error of Balaam for profit, and perished (D)in the rebellion of Korah.
Apostates Depraved and Doomed
12 These are [a]spots in your love feasts, while they feast with you without fear, serving only themselves. They are clouds without water, carried [b]about by the winds; late autumn trees without fruit, twice dead, pulled up by the roots; 13 (E)raging waves of the sea, (F)foaming up their own shame; wandering stars (G)for whom is reserved the blackness of darkness forever.
14 Now Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about these men also, saying, “Behold, the Lord comes with ten thousands of His saints, 15 to execute judgment on all, to convict all who are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have committed in an ungodly way, and of all the (H)harsh things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him.”
Apostates Predicted
16 These are grumblers, complainers, walking according to their own lusts; and they (I)mouth great swelling words, (J)flattering people to gain advantage. 17 (K)But you, beloved, remember the words which were spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ: 18 how they told you that (L)there would be mockers in the last time who would walk according to their own ungodly lusts. 19 These are [c]sensual persons, who cause divisions, not having the Spirit.
Maintain Your Life with God
20 But you, beloved, (M)building yourselves up on your most holy faith, (N)praying in the Holy Spirit,

Jude 10-20
New International Version
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.(A)
11 Woe to them! They have taken the way of Cain;(B) they have rushed for profit into Balaam’s error;(C) they have been destroyed in Korah’s rebellion.(D)
12 These people are blemishes at your love feasts,(E) eating with you without the slightest qualm—shepherds who feed only themselves.(F) They are clouds without rain,(G) blown along by the wind;(H) autumn trees, without fruit and uprooted(I)—twice dead. 13 They are wild waves of the sea,(J) foaming up their shame;(K) wandering stars, for whom blackest darkness has been reserved forever.(L)
14 Enoch,(M) the seventh from Adam, prophesied about them: “See, the Lord is coming(N) with thousands upon thousands of his holy ones(O) 15 to judge(P) 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.”[a](Q) 16 These people are grumblers(R) and faultfinders; they follow their own evil desires;(S) they boast(T) about themselves and flatter others for their own advantage.
A Call to Persevere
17 But, dear friends, remember what the apostles(U) of our Lord Jesus Christ foretold.(V) 18 They said to you, “In the last times(W) there will be scoffers who will follow their own ungodly desires.”(X) 19 These are the people who divide you, who follow mere natural instincts and do not have the Spirit.(Y)
20 But you, dear friends, by building yourselves up(Z) in your most holy faith(AA) and praying in the Holy Spirit,(AB)
