Summary/Abstract: In Jude 10-13 the biblical author uses blatant invectives that show the ungodly and demoralized attitude of heretics. In the ancient Greek literature and in some other biblical books there are similar means of stigmatizing erroneous knowledge and behavior incompatible with commonly accepted customs. For this reason in this article we first discuss inversion as a literary genre, and then analyze the sentences from Jud 10-13 in order to show the content and meaning of the instructions and reprimands contained in this passage.
