12. These people are hidden rocky reefs at your love feasts—shamelessly feasting with you, tending only to themselves. They are waterless clouds, carried along by winds; fruitless trees in late autumn, doubly dead, uprooted;
13. wild waves of the sea, foaming up their own shame; wandering stars, for whom the gloom of utter darkness has been reserved forever.
14. It was also about these people that Enoch, the seventh generation from Adam, prophesied, saying, “Behold, the Lord came with myriads of His kedoshim,
15. to execute judgment against all. He will convict all the ungodly for all their ungodly deeds that they have done in an ungodly way, and for all of the harsh things ungodly sinners have spoken against Him.”
16. These are bellyaching grumblers, following after their own desires. Their mouth speaks grandiose things, showing favoritism for the sake of gain.
17. But you, loved ones, ought to remember the words previously proclaimed by the emissaries of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah—
18. how they kept telling you, “In the last time there will be scoffers, following after their own ungodly desires.”
19. These are the ones who cause divisions—worldly-minded, not having the Ruach
20. But you, loved ones, continue building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Ruach ha-Kodesh.
21. Keep yourselves in the love of God, eagerly waiting for the mercy of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah that leads to eternal life.
22. And have mercy on those who are wavering—
23. save them by snatching them out of the fire; but on others have mercy with fear—hating even the garment defiled by the flesh.
24. Now to the One who is able to keep you from stumbling, and to present you blameless before the presence of His glory with great joy,
25. to the only God our Savior, through Yeshua the Messiah our Lord, be glory, majesty, power, and authority, before all time, both now and forever. Amen.
