Jude 1:10

Jude 1:10

8 ^aLikewise also these dreamers defile the flesh, reject authority, and ^bspeak evil of dignitaries.

9 Yet Michael the archangel, in¹ contending with the devil, when he disputed about the body of Moses, dared not bring against him a reviling accusation, but said, ^a“The Lord rebuke you!”

10 ^aBut these speak evil of whatever they do not know; and whatever they know naturally, like brute beasts, in these things they corrupt themselves.

11 Woe to them! For they have gone in the way ^aof Cain, ^bhave run greedily in the error of Balaam for profit, and perished ^cin the rebellion of Korah.

Apostates Depraved and Doomed

12 These are¹ spots in your love feasts, while they feast with you without fear, serving only themselves. They are clouds without water, carried² about by the winds; late autumn trees without fruit, twice dead, pulled up by the roots;

13 ^araging waves of the sea, ^bfoaming up their own shame; wandering stars ^cfor whom is reserved the blackness of darkness forever.

<< Jude 1:9

Jude 1:11 >>

Jude 1:9 Michael the archangel. Michael is brought forward as a contrast with those who speak evil of dignities. He is called by Daniel "the Great Prince" (Daniel 12:1), and here "the archangel", or head angel. He disputed about the body of Moses. The reference is not to a statement of the Bible, but to a Jewish tradition which held that the burial place of Moses was placed under the charge of Michael. Durst not bring against him a railing accusation. Yet in addressing the devil, a fallen angel, he did not rail at him, but only said, "The Lord rebuke thee".
