Revelation 11:8-10
Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
8 and their dead bodies will lie in the street of the great city[a] which is allegorically[b] called Sodom and Egypt, where their Lord was crucified. 9 For three days and a half men from the peoples and tribes and tongues and nations gaze at their dead bodies and refuse to let them be placed in a tomb, 10 and those who dwell on the earth will rejoice over them and make merry and exchange presents, because these two prophets had been a torment to those who dwell on the earth.
