11. How terrible it will be for them! They followed the way of Cain. They rushed ahead and made the same mistake as Balaam did. They did it because they loved money. They are like Korah. He turned against his leaders. Those people will certainly be destroyed, just as Korah was.
12. They are like stains at the meals you share. They eat too much. They have no shame. They are shepherds who feed only themselves. They are like clouds without rain. They are blown along by the wind. They are like trees in the fall. Since they have no fruit, they are pulled up. So they die twice.
13. They are like wild waves of the sea. Their shame rises up like foam. They are like falling stars. God has reserved a place of very black darkness for them. He will keep them there forever.
14. Enoch was the seventh man in the family line of Adam. He gave a prophecy about those people. He said, "Look! The Lord is coming with thousands and thousands of his holy ones.
15. He is coming to judge everyone. He is coming to sentence all ungodly people. He will judge them for all the ungodly acts they have done. They have done them in ungodly ways. He will sentence ungodly sinners for all the bad things they have said about him."
16. Those people complain. They find fault with others. They follow their own evil longings. They brag about themselves. They praise others to help themselves.
17. Dear friends, remember what the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ said was going to happen.
18. They told you, "In the last days, some people will make fun of the truth. They will follow their own ungodly longings."
19. They are the people who separate you from one another. They do only what comes naturally. They are not led by the Holy Spirit.
20. Dear friends, build yourselves up in your most holy faith. Let the Holy Spirit guide and help you when you pray.
