Jude 12-19

English Standard Version

¹² These are hidden reefs^{[a] (A)}at your love feasts, as they feast with you without fear, ^(B)shepherds feeding themselves; ^(C)waterless clouds, ^(D)swept along by winds; fruitless trees in late autumn, twice dead, ^(E)uprooted; ^13 (F)wild waves of the sea, casting up the foam of ^(G)their own shame; ^(H)wandering stars, ^(I)for whom the gloom of utter darkness has been reserved forever.

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

A Call to Persevere

¹⁷ But you must ^(R)remember, beloved, the predictions of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ. ¹⁸ They^[b] said to you, ^(S)“In the last time there will be scoffers, following their own ungodly passions.” ¹⁹ It is these who cause divisions, worldly people, ^(T)devoid of the Spirit.
