Yet These People Defile The Flesh And Reject God’s Authority. Woe To Them

Yet in the same way also these dreaming ones are defiling the flesh and rejecting authority[a] and blaspheming[b] glories[c]! Now Michael the archangel[d], when he was speaking concerning the body of Moses while disputing with the devil, did not dare to bring[e] a judgment of blasphemy, but said, “May the Lord rebuke you”. 10 But these ones— whatever things they do not understand, they blaspheme; and whatever things they know instinctually like unreasoning animals, by these they are being destroyed. 11 Woe to them, because they went in the way of Cain, and they poured-forth[f] in the error of Balaam for wages, and they perished[g] in the rebellion of Korah.

Enoch Prophesied God Would Execute Judgment Against These Ungodly Stains

12 These ones are the ones who are spots[h] in your love-feasts, feasting-with[i] you fearlessly, tending[j] themselves; waterless clouds being carried-along by winds; fruitless autumn trees having died twice, having been uprooted; 13 wild waves of the sea foaming-up their shames; wandering stars for whom the gloom of darkness has been reserved forever.
