When these two servants of God have finished speaking God's messages, a wild animal will attack them. This is the animal that lives in the deep hole.[a] It will come up out of the hole. It will be stronger than the two servants and it will kill them. Their dead bodies will lie in the street of the great city where people killed their Lord on a cross.[b] This city should be called Sodom or Egypt, because it is as bad as those places.[c]

People from everywhere in the world will look at the servants' dead bodies for three and a half days. Those are people from every nation, from every tribe and from every language. They will not agree to bury the bodies.
