Jude 8-10
Revised Geneva Translation
8 Likewise also, these dreamers defile the flesh and despise government and speak evil of those who are in authority.
9 Yet Michael, the archangel, when he strove against the devil and disputed about the body of Moses, did not dare speak evil against him, but said, “The Lord rebuke you!”
10 But these speak evil of those things which they do not know. And whatever things they know naturally (as beasts which are without reason), in those things they corrupt themselves.

Jude 8-10
New International Version
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.(A) 9 But even the archangel(B) Michael,(C) when he was disputing with the devil about the body of Moses,(D) did not himself dare to condemn him for slander but said, “The Lord rebuke you!”[a](E) 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.(F)

8 Yet in like manner these people also, relying on their dreams, defile the flesh, reject authority, and (A)blaspheme the glorious ones. 9 But when (B)the archangel (C)Michael, contending with the devil, was disputing (D)about the body of Moses, he did not presume to pronounce a blasphemous judgment, but said, (E)“The Lord rebuke you.” 10 (F)But these people blaspheme all that they do not understand, and they are destroyed by all that they, like unreasoning animals, understand instinctively.
