Revelation 11:16-18

Contemporary English Version

¹⁶Then the 24 elders, who were seated on thrones in God's presence, knelt down and worshiped him. ¹⁷They said,

“Lord God All-Powerful,
you are and you were,
    and we thank you.
You used your great power
    and started ruling.
¹⁸^(A) When the nations got angry,
    you became angry too!
Now the time has come
for the dead
    to be judged.
It is time for you to reward
    your servants the prophets
and all your people
who honor your name,
    no matter who they are.
It is time to destroy everyone
who has destroyed
    the earth.”
