Contextual Overview

8 En ná hom het Ebsan, uit Betlehem, Israel gerig. 9 En hy het dertig seuns gehad, en dertig dogters het hy uitgehuwelik en van buite af dertig dogters vir sy seuns ingebring; en hy het Israel sewe jaar lank gerig. 10 En Ebsan het gesterwe en is begrawe in Betlehem. 11 En ná hom het Elon, die Sebuloniet, Israel gerig; en hy het Israel tien jaar lank gerig. 12These are the men who are hidden reefs in your love feasts when they feast with you without fear, caring for themselves; clouds without water, carried along by winds; autumn trees without fruit, doubly dead, uprooted; 13wild waves of the sea, casting up their own shame like foam; wandering stars, for whom the black darkness has been reserved forever. 14But Enoch, in the seventh generation from Adam, also prophesied about these men, saying, "Behold, the Lord came with many thousands of His holy ones, 15to execute judgment upon all, and to convict all the ungodly of all their ungodly deeds which they have done in an ungodly way, and of all the harsh things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him."
