¹² These men are unseen rocks at your love-feasts, when they take part in them with you, keepers of sheep who without fear take the food of the sheep; clouds without water rushing before the wind, wasted trees without fruit, twice dead, pulled up by the roots,

¹³ Violent waves of the sea, streaming with their shame, wandering stars for whom the darkest night is kept in store for ever.

¹⁴ The prophet Enoch, who was the seventh after Adam, said of these men, The Lord came with tens of thousands of his saints,

¹⁵ To be the judge of all, and to give a decision against all those whose lives are unpleasing to him, because of the evil acts which they have done, and because of all the hard things which sinners without fear of God have said against him.

¹⁶ These are the men who make trouble, ever desiring change, going after evil pleasures, using high-sounding words, respecting men's position in the hope of reward.
