‏ Jude 11

 Woe to them ( ουα αυτοις ). Interjection with the dative as is common in the Gospels (Mt 11:21).

 Went ( επορευθησαν ). First aorist passive (deponent) indicative of  πορευομα.

 In the way of Cain ( τη οδω του Καιν ). Locative case  οδω. Cain is Jude's fourth example. Not in II Peter, but in Heb 11:4; 1Jo 3:11f. From Ge 4:7.

 Ran riotously ( εξεχυθησαν ). First aorist passive indicative of  εκχεω, to pour out, "they were poured out," vigorous metaphor for excessive indulgence. But it is used also of God's love for us (Ro 5:5).

 In the error of Balaam ( τη πλανη του Βαλααμ ). The fifth example in Jude. In II Peter also (2Pe 2:15). Either locative case (in) or instrumental (by).  Πλανη (in Peter also) is the common word for such wandering (Mt 24:4ff., etc.).

 Perished ( απωλοντο ). Second aorist middle (intransitive) of  απολλυμ.

 In the gainsaying of Korah ( τη αντιλογια του Κορε ). Again either locative or instrumental. The word  αντιλογια is originally answering back (Heb 6:16), but it may be by act also (Ro 10:21) as here. This is the sixth example in Jude, not in II Peter.
