‏ Jude 13

 Wild waves ( κυματα αγρια ). Waves (Mt 8:24, from  κυεω, to swell) wild (from  αγρος, field, wild honey Mt 3:4) like untamed animals of the forest or the sea.

 Foaming out ( επαφριζοντα ). Late and rare present active participle of  επαφριζω, used in Moschus for the foaming waves as here. Cf. Isa 57:20.

 Shame ( αισχυνας ). Plural "shames" (disgraces). Cf. Php 3:19.

 Wandering stars ( αστερες πλανητα ). "Stars wanderers."  Πλανητης, old word (from  πλαναω ), here alone in N.T. Some refer this to comets or shooting stars. See Isa 14:12 for an allusion to Babylon as the day-star who fell through pride.

 For ever ( εις αιωνα ). The rest of the relative clause exactly as in 2Pe 2:17.
