Jude 8-13

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

⁸ Yet in the same way these dreamers also defile the flesh, reject authority, and slander the glorious ones.^{[a](A) 9} But when the archangel Michael disputed with the devil and argued about the body of Moses, he did not dare to bring a condemnation of slander^[b] against him but said, “The Lord rebuke you!”^{(B) 10} But these people slander whatever they do not understand, and they are destroyed by those things that, like irrational animals, they know by instinct. ¹¹ Woe to them! For they go the way of Cain and abandon themselves to Balaam’s error for the sake of gain and perish in Korah’s rebellion.^{(C) 12} These are blots^[c] on your love feasts, while they feast with you without fear, feeding themselves.^[d] They are waterless clouds carried along by the winds; autumn trees without fruit, twice dead, uprooted;^{(D) 13} wild waves of the sea, casting up the foam of their own shame; wandering stars, for whom the deepest darkness has been reserved forever.^(E)
