10 Then I heard a loud voice in heaven say:

“Now have come the salvation and the power
    and the kingdom of our God
    and the authority of his Messiah.
For the accuser[a] of our brethren has been cast out,
    the one who accused them day and night before our God.
11 They have conquered him
    by the blood of the Lamb
    and by the word of their testimony;
even in the face of death
    they did not cling to life.
12 Therefore rejoice, you heavens,
    and you who dwell in them!
But woe to you, earth and sea,
    because the devil has come down to you.
He is filled with rage,
    for he knows that his time is short.”
