Bible verse
These men are discontented grumblers, following after their own lusts; their mouths spew arrogance; they flatter others for their own advantage.
Jude 1:16 · BSB
The verses around it, from Jude 1.
12 These men are hidden reefs in your love feasts, shamelessly feasting with you but shepherding only themselves. They are clouds without water, carried along by the wind; fruitless trees in autumn, twice dead after being uprooted.
13 They are wild waves of the sea, foaming up their own shame; wandering stars, for whom blackest darkness has been reserved forever.
14 Enoch, the seventh from Adam, also prophesied about them: “Behold, the Lord is coming with myriads of His holy ones
15 to execute judgment on everyone, and to convict all the ungodly of every ungodly act of wickedness and every harsh word spoken against Him by ungodly sinners.”
16 These men are discontented grumblers, following after their own lusts; their mouths spew arrogance; they flatter others for their own advantage.
17 But you, beloved, remember what was foretold by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ
18 when they said to you, “In the last times there will be scoffers who will follow after their own ungodly desires.”
19 These are the ones who cause divisions, who are worldly and devoid of the Spirit.
20 But you, beloved, by building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit,
