⁵⁸ This is what the Lord Almighty says:

¹⁹ Because of the high position he gave him, all the nations and peoples of every language dreaded and feared him. Those the king wanted to put to death, he put to death;^(A) those he wanted to spare, he spared; those he wanted to promote, he promoted; and those he wanted to humble, he humbled.^(B)

⁹ And they sang a new song, saying:^(A)

The Great Multitude in White Robes

⁹ After this I looked, and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language,^(A) standing before the throne^(B) and before the Lamb. They were wearing white robes^(C) and were holding palm branches in their hands.

¹¹ Then I was told, “You must prophesy^(A) again about many peoples, nations, languages and kings.”^(B)

⁹ For three and a half days some from every people, tribe, language and nation^(A) will gaze on their bodies and refuse them burial.^(B)

⁷ It was given power to wage war^(A) against God’s holy people and to conquer them. And it was given authority over every tribe, people, language and nation.^(B)
