Jude 8-10

In the very same way, on the strength of their dreams these ungodly people pollute their own bodies, reject authority and heap abuse on celestial beings. Bur even the archangel Michael, when he was disputing with the devil about the body of Moses, did not himself dare to condemn him for slander but said, "The Lord rebuke you!" Yet these people slander whatever they do not understand, and the very things they do understand by instinct--as irrational animals do--will destroy them. 

these ungodly people pollute their own bodies, reject authority and heap abuse on celestial beings 
2 Peter 2:10-11  This is especially true of those who follow the corrupt desire of the flesh and despise authority. Bold and arrogant, they are not afraid to heap abuse on celestial beings; yet even angels, though they are stronger and more powerful, do not heap abuse on such beings when bringing judgment on them from the Lord.

But even the archangel 
1 Thessalonians 4:16-18  For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. Therefore encourage one another with these words.

Michael 
Daniel 10:12-13  Then he continued, "Do not be afraid, Daniel. Since the first day that you set your mind to gain understanding and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard, and I have come in response to them. but the prince of the Persian kingdom resisted me twenty-one days. Then Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, because I was detained there with the king of Persia. Now I have come to explain to you what will happen to your people in the future, for the vision concerns a time yet to come."
Daniel 10:21  "... but first I will tell you what is written in the Book of Truth. (No one supports me against them [the prince of Persia and the prince of Greece] except Michael, your prince.)"

"The Lord rebuke you!" 
Zechariah 3:2  The LORD said to Satan, "The LORD rebuke you, Satan! The LORD who has chosen Jerusalem, rebuke you! Is not this man a burning stick snatched from the fire?"

and the very things they do understand by instinct--as irrational animals do--will destroy them 
2 Peter 2:12  But these people blaspheme in matters they do not understand. They are like unreasoning animals, creatures of instinct, born only to be caught and destroyed, and like animals they too will perish.
