The victory of Heaven proclaimed

10-11 Then I heard a great voice in Heaven cry: “Now the salvation and the power and kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ have come! For the accuser of our brethren has been thrown down from this place, where he stood before our God accusing them day and night. Now they have conquered him through the blood of the Lamb, and through the Word to which they bore witness. They did not cherish life even in the face of death!

12 “Therefore, rejoice, O Heavens, and all you who live in the Heavens! But alas for the earth and the sea, for the devil has come down to you in great fury, 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.”
