Yet in the same way these dreamers also defile the flesh, reject authority, and slander the glorious ones.[a](A) 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!

Yet in the same way these people also, dreaming, (A)defile the flesh, reject authority, and speak abusively of angelic [a]majesties. But (B)Michael (C)the archangel, when he disputed with the devil and argued about (D)the body of Moses, did not dare pronounce against him an abusive judgment, but said, “(E)The Lord rebuke you!” 10 But (F)these people disparage all the things that they do not understand; and (G)all the things that they know by instinct, (H)like unreasoning animals, by these things they are destroyed. 11 Woe to them! For they have gone (I)the way of Cain, and for pay [b]they have given themselves up to (J)the error of Balaam, and (K)perished in the rebellion of Korah. 12 These are the ones who are [c]hidden reefs (L)in your love feasts when they feast with you (M)without fear, like shepherds caring only 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, churning up (R)their own shameful deeds like dirty foam; wandering stars, (S)for whom the [e]gloom of darkness has been reserved forever.
