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.

(A)Likewise also these dreamers defile the flesh, reject authority, and (B)speak evil of [a]dignitaries. Yet Michael the archangel, in [b]contending with the devil, when he disputed about the body of Moses, dared not bring against him a reviling accusation, but said, (C)“The Lord rebuke you!” 10 (D)But these speak evil of whatever they do not know; and whatever they know naturally, like brute beasts, in these things they corrupt themselves. 11 Woe to them! For they have gone in the way (E)of Cain, (F)have run greedily in the error of Balaam for profit, and perished (G)in the rebellion of Korah.

Apostates Depraved and Doomed

12 These are [c]spots in your love feasts, while they feast with you without fear, serving only themselves. They are clouds without water, carried [d]about by the winds; late autumn trees without fruit, twice dead, pulled up by the roots; 13 (H)raging waves of the sea, (I)foaming up their own shame; wandering stars (J)for whom is reserved the blackness of darkness forever.
