Yet in the same way these men, also by dreaming, (A)defile the flesh, and reject authority, and blaspheme [a]glorious ones. But (B)Michael (C)the archangel, when he, disputing with the devil, was arguing about (D)the body of Moses, did not dare pronounce against him a blasphemous judgment, but said, “(E)The Lord rebuke you!” 10 But (F)these men blaspheme the things which they do not understand; and (G)the things which they know by instinct, (H)like unreasoning animals, by these things they are [b]destroyed. 11 Woe to them! For they have gone (I)the way of Cain, and for pay they have poured themselves into (J)the error of Balaam, and (K)perished in the rebellion of Korah. 12 These are the men who are [c]hidden reefs (L)in your love feasts when they feast with you (M)without fear, caring for themselves; (N)clouds without water, (O)carried along by winds; autumn trees without fruit, [d]doubly dead, (P)uprooted; 13 (Q)wild waves of the sea, casting up (R)their own [e]shame like foam; wandering stars, (S)for whom the [f]black darkness has been reserved forever.

Despite that, in the same way also these men, because of their[a] dreams, defile the flesh and reject authority and blaspheme majestic beings. But Michael the archangel, when he argued with the devil, disputing concerning the body of Moses, did not dare to pronounce a blasphemous judgment, but said, “The Lord rebuke you!” 10 But these persons blaspheme all that they do not understand, and all that they understand by instinct like the irrational animals, by these things they are being destroyed. 11 Woe to them! For they have traveled in the way of Cain, and have given themselves up to the error of Balaam for gain, and have perished[b] in the rebellion of Korah. 12 These are the ones feasting together without reverence, hidden reefs at your love feasts, caring for themselves, waterless clouds carried away by winds, late autumn trees without fruit, twice dead, uprooted, 13 wild waves of the sea foaming up their own shameful deeds, wandering stars, for whom the deep gloom of darkness has been reserved for eternity.
