Revelation 11:16-18

Easy-to-Read Version

¹⁶Then the 24 elders bowed down on their faces and worshiped God. These are the elders who sit on their thrones before God. ¹⁷The elders said,

“We give thanks to you, Lord God All-Powerful.
    You are the one who is and who always was.
We thank you because you have used your great power
    and have begun to rule.
¹⁸The people of the world were angry,
    but now is the time for your anger.
    Now is the time for the dead to be judged.
It is time to reward your servants, the prophets,
    and to reward your holy people,
    the people, great and small, who respect you.
It is time to destroy those people who destroy the earth!”
