Revelation 11:9-11
New English Translation
9 For three and a half days those from every[a] people, tribe,[b] nation, and language will look at their corpses, because they will not permit them to be placed in a tomb.[c] 10 And those who live on the earth will rejoice over them and celebrate, even sending gifts to each other, because these two prophets had tormented those who live on the earth. 11 But[d] after three and a half days a breath of life from God entered them, and they stood on their feet, and tremendous fear seized[e] those who were watching them.
