Yet in like manner these people also, relying on their dreams, defile the flesh, reject authority, and (A)blaspheme the glorious ones. But when (B)the archangel (C)Michael, contending with the devil, was disputing (D)about the body of Moses, he did not presume to pronounce a blasphemous judgment, but said, (E)“The Lord rebuke you.” 10 (F)But these people blaspheme all that they do not understand, and they are destroyed by all that they, like unreasoning animals, understand instinctively. 11 Woe to them! For they walked in (G)the way of Cain and abandoned themselves for the sake of gain (H)to Balaam's error and (I)perished in Korah's rebellion. 12 These are hidden reefs[a] (J)at your love feasts, as they feast with you without fear, (K)shepherds feeding themselves; (L)waterless clouds, (M)swept along by winds; fruitless trees in late autumn, twice dead, (N)uprooted; 13 (O)wild waves of the sea, casting up the foam of (P)their own shame; (Q)wandering stars, (R)for whom the gloom of utter darkness has been reserved forever.
