Jude 1:13 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever.

Raging - wild. Jude has in mind Isaiah 57:20.

Shame, х aischunas (G152)] - plural, 'shames' (cf. Philippians 3:19).

Wandering stars - instead of moving on in a regular orbit, as lights to the world, bursting forth like erratic comets, or rather fiery meteors, with a strange glare, then doomed to fall back again into black gloom.

Jude 1:13

13 Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever.
