Revelation 11:8-10
New English Translation
8 Their[a] corpses will lie in the street[b] of the great city that is symbolically[c] called Sodom and Egypt, where their Lord was also crucified. 9 For three and a half days those from every[d] people, tribe,[e] nation, and language will look at their corpses, because they will not permit them to be placed in a tomb.[f] 10 And those who live on the earth will rejoice over them and celebrate, even sending gifts to each other, because these two prophets had tormented those who live on the earth.
