Jude 1:15

to execute judgment upon all The following is given as a literal translation of the prophecy as it stands in the Book of Enoch: "And He cometh with ten thousands of His holy ones, that He may execute judgment upon them and destroy the ungodly, and may plead with all the carnal ones for all the things which sinners and the ungodly have done or wrought against Him." St Jude's version differs from this in the reiterated use of the word "ungodly" as noun, adjective, verb and adverb.
