1 After this vision and announcement I heard what sounded like a great many people in heaven saying:“Hallelujah!Salvation, glory, and power belong to our God,
2 because his judgments are true and right.He has punished the prostitutewho made the earth evil with her sexual sin.He has paid her back for the death of his servants.”
3 Again they said:“Hallelujah!She is burning, and her smoke will rise forever and ever.”
4 Then the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures bowed down and worshiped God, who sits on the throne. They said:“Amen, Hallelujah!”
5 Then a voice came from the throne, saying:“Praise our God, all you who serve himand all you who honor him, both small and great!”
6 Then I heard what sounded like a great many people, like the noise of flooding water, and like the noise of loud thunder. The people were saying:“Hallelujah!Our Lord God, the Almighty, rules.
