Such punishment This phrase refers to the divine retribution that awaits those who live in opposition to God's will.

Our version is minutely perverse. The word translated "government" here and "dominion" in Jude is one and the same in the Greek: whereas the words translated in both places "despise" are different. Presumptuous are they.--A fresh verse should begin here; the construction is entirely changed, and a fresh start made. From "the unjust" to "government" the reference is to ungodly and sensual people in general; here we return to the false teachers in particular. Audacious would be more literal than "presumptuous." The word is found here only. On the change to the present tense, see Introduction, I., c, . Speak evil of dignities.--The exact meaning of "dignities," or "glories," is not clear, either here or in Jude 1:8. The context in both places seems to show that spiritual powers alone are intended, and that earthly powers, whether civil or ecclesiastical, are not included, much less exclusively indicated. The construction here resembles that in 2Peter 1:19 : "Do not tremble in (or, while) speaking evil of dignities," like "ye do well in taking heed." These men deny the existence of, or irreverently speak slightingly of, those spiritual agencies by means of which God conducts the government of the world. . . .
