21 The appointed day came. Herod was seated on his throne. He was wearing his royal robes. He made a speech to the people.
22 Then they shouted, "This is the voice of a god. It's not the voice of a man."
23 Right away an angel of the Lord struck Herod down. Herod had not given praise to God. So he was eaten by worms and died.
24 But God's word continued to increase and spread.
