WPNT(i)
10 But these speak abusively against whatever they do not understand, while whatever they know by instinct, like unreasoning animals—by these things they are ruined.
11 Woe to them, because they have taken the way of Cain, have rushed into Balaam’s error for profit, and have destroyed themselves in Korah’s rebellion!
12 These men are hidden reefs at your love feasts, joining the feast without fear, caring only for themselves; they are clouds without rain, carried along by winds; they are late autumn trees without fruit, twice dead (having been uprooted);
13 they are wild waves of the sea, foaming up their own shameful acts; they are wandering stars, for whom the black of the darkness has been reserved forever.
14 Now even Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about these men saying: “Look, the Lord is coming with ten thousands of His holy ones
15 to execute judgment on everyone and to convict all the godless among them of all their godless deeds that they have godlessly perpetrated, also of all the harsh things they have spoken against Him—the godless sinners!”
16 These men are grumblers and complainers, living according to their own evil desires; they talk big, flattering people to gain advantage.
17 But you, dear ones, remember the words that were spoken before by the Apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ:
18 how they told you that in the last time there will be scoffers who live according to their own godless desires.
19 These are the ones who cause division; they are ‘soulish’, not having a spirit.
