Revelation 11:4-6
New English Translation
4 (These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands that stand before the Lord of the earth.)[a] 5 If[b] anyone wants to harm them, fire comes out of their mouths[c] and completely consumes[d] their enemies. If[e] anyone wants to harm them, they must be killed this way. 6 These two have the power[f] to close up the sky so that it does not rain during the time[g] they are prophesying. They[h] have power[i] to turn the waters to blood and to strike the earth with every kind of plague whenever they want.
