Thayer's Greek Lexicon
ἐπαφρίζω; to foam up (Mosch. 5, 5); to cast out as foam, foam out: τί, Jud 1:13 calls the godless and graceless set of whom he speaks κύματα ἐπαφρίζοντα τάς ἑαυτῶν αἰσχύνας, i. e. (dropping the figure) impelled by their restless passions, they unblushingly exhibit, in word and deed, their base and abandoned spirit; cf. Isa 57:20.
