10 Then I heard a loud voice in heaven proclaiming,

“Now have come the salvation and the power
    and the kingdom of our God
    and the authority of his Messiah,[a]
for the accuser of our brothers and sisters has been thrown down,
    who accuses them day and night before our God.(A)
11 But they have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb
    and by the word of their testimony,
for they did not cling to life even in the face of death.(B)
12 Rejoice then, you heavens
    and those who dwell in them!
But woe to the earth and the sea,
    for the devil has come down to you
with great wrath
    because he knows that his time is short!”(C)

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.”
