The Vision of the Cry of Victory

10 Then I heard a loud voice in heaven say,

“Now the salvation, the power,
    the kingdom of our God,
        and the authority of his Messiah[a] have come.
For the one who accuses our brothers,
    who accuses them day and night
in the presence of our God,
    has been thrown out.
11 Our brothers[b] conquered him by the blood of the lamb
    and by the word of their testimony,
for they did not cling to their lives
    even in the face of death.
12 So be glad, heavens, and those who live in them!
How terrible it is for the earth and the sea,
    because the Devil has come down to you, filled with rage,
        knowing that his time is short!”

10 Then I heard a loud voice in heaven(A) say:

“Now have come the salvation(B) and the power
    and the kingdom of our God,
    and the authority of his Messiah.
For the accuser of our brothers and sisters,(C)
    who accuses them before our God day and night,
    has been hurled down.
11 They triumphed over(D) him
    by the blood of the Lamb(E)
    and by the word of their testimony;(F)
they did not love their lives so much
    as to shrink from death.(G)
12 Therefore rejoice, you heavens(H)
    and you who dwell in them!
But woe(I) to the earth and the sea,(J)
    because the devil has gone down to you!
He is filled with fury,
    because he knows that his time is short.”
