16 Then the 24 elders[a] bowed down on their faces and worshiped God. These are the elders who sit on their thrones before God. 17 They said:

“We give thanks to you, Lord God All-Powerful.
    You are the One who is and who was.
We thank you because you have used your great power
    and have begun to rule!
18 The people of the world were angry;
    but now is the time for your anger.
    Now is the time for the dead to be judged.
It is time to reward your servants the prophets
    and to reward your holy people,
    all who respect you, great and small.
It is time to destroy those who destroy the earth!”
