16 The twenty-four elders sitting on their thrones in God’s presence fell on their faces and worshiped God.

17 This is what they said:

“Almighty Lord God, we give you our thanks,
Who Is and Who Was,
because you have taken your power, your great power,
and begun to reign.
18 The nations were raging; your anger came down
and with it the time for judging the dead
to give the reward to your servants the prophets,
the holy ones, too, and the small and the great—
all those who fear your name.
It is time to destroy the destroyers of the earth.”
