He has punished the great prostitute
who corrupted the earth with her immorality.
He has avenged the murder of his servants.”

“Praise the Lord!
The smoke from that city ascends forever and ever!”

“Praise our God,
all his servants,
all who fear him,
from the least to the greatest.”

“Praise the Lord!
For the Lord our God,[b] the Almighty, reigns.
