²⁰ Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye saints, and ye apostles, and ye prophets; for God hath judged your judgment on her.

¹² Therefore rejoice, O heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe for the earth and for the sea: because the devil is gone down unto you, having great wrath, knowing that he hath but a short time.

¹⁰ and they cried with a great voice, saying, How long, O Master, the holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?

⁴⁹ Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send unto them prophets and apostles; and `some' of them they shall kill and persecute;

⁵⁰ that the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation;

⁴⁷ Therefore, behold, the days come, that I will execute judgment upon the graven images of Babylon; and her whole land shall be confounded; and all her slain shall fall in the midst of her.

⁴⁸ Then the heavens and the earth, and all that is therein, shall sing for joy over Babylon; for the destroyers shall come unto her from the north, saith Jehovah.

⁷ And shall not God avenge his elect, that cry to him day and night, and `yet' he is longsuffering over them?

⁸ I say unto you, that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?

²⁰ being built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the chief corner stone;

⁵ which in other generation was not made known unto the sons of men, as it hath now been revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets in the Spirit;

¹¹ And he gave some `to be' apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;

² that ye should remember the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and the commandments of the Lord and Saviour through your apostles:

¹⁷ But ye, beloved, remember ye the words which have been spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;

¹ After these things I heard as it were a great voice of a great multitude in heaven, saying, Hallelujah; Salvation, and glory, and power, belong to our God:

² for true and righteous are his judgments; for he hath judged the great harlot, her that corrupted the earth with her fornication, and he hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand.

³ And a second time they say, Hallelujah. And her smoke goeth up for ever and ever.

¹³ Sing, O heavens; and be joyful, O earth; and break forth into singing, O mountains: for Jehovah hath comforted his people, and will have compassion upon his afflicted.

²³ Sing, O ye heavens, for Jehovah hath done it; shout, ye lower parts of the earth; break forth into singing, ye mountains, O forest, and every tree therein: for Jehovah hath redeemed Jacob, and will glorify himself in Israel.

³¹ So let all thine enemies perish, O Jehovah: But let them that love him be as the sun when he goeth forth in his might. And the land had rest forty years.

⁴⁷ Even the God that executeth vengeance for me, And subdueth peoples under me.

¹¹ Let mount Zion be glad, Let the daughters of Judah rejoice, Because of thy judgments.

¹⁰ The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: He shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked;

¹ O Jehovah, thou God to whom vengeance belongeth, Thou God to whom vengeance belongeth, shine forth.

¹¹ Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice; Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof;

¹² Let the field exult, and all that is therein; Then shall all the trees of the wood sing for joy

¹³ Before Jehovah; for he cometh, For he cometh to judge the earth: He will judge the world with righteousness, And the peoples with his truth.

⁴² The upright shall see it, and be glad; And all iniquity shall stop her mouth.

²⁸ Let them curse, but bless thou: When they arise, they shall be put to shame, But thy servant shall rejoice.

¹⁰ When it goeth well with the righteous, the city rejoiceth; And when the wicked perish, there is shouting.

²¹ For, behold, Jehovah cometh forth out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.

⁴² I will make mine arrows drunk with blood, And my sword shall devour flesh; With the blood of the slain and the captives, From the head of the leaders of the enemy.
