Jude 11-17

English Standard Version

¹¹ Woe to them! For they walked in ^(A)the way of Cain and abandoned themselves for the sake of gain ^(B)to Balaam's error and ^(C)perished in Korah's rebellion. ¹² These are hidden reefs^{[a] (D)}at your love feasts, as they feast with you without fear, ^(E)shepherds feeding themselves; ^(F)waterless clouds, ^(G)swept along by winds; fruitless trees in late autumn, twice dead, ^(H)uprooted; ^13 (I)wild waves of the sea, casting up the foam of ^(J)their own shame; ^(K)wandering stars, ^(L)for whom the gloom of utter darkness has been reserved forever.

¹⁴ It was also about these that Enoch, ^(M)the seventh from Adam, prophesied, saying, ^(N)“Behold, the Lord comes with ten thousands of his holy ones, ^15 (O)to execute judgment on all and to convict all the ungodly of all their deeds of ungodliness that they have ^(P)committed in such an ungodly way, and of all ^(Q)the harsh things that ungodly sinners have spoken against him.” ¹⁶ These are grumblers, malcontents, ^(R)following their own sinful desires; ^(S)they are loud-mouthed boasters, ^(T)showing favoritism to gain advantage.

A Call to Persevere

¹⁷ But you must ^(U)remember, beloved, the predictions of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ.
