19 After this I heard what seemed to be the loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, saying,
“Hallelujah!
Salvation and glory and power to our God,(A)

who corrupted the earth with her prostitution,
and he has avenged on her the blood of his servants.”(B)

“Hallelujah!
The smoke goes up from her forever and ever.”(C)

For the Lord[c] God
the Almighty reigns.(F)

and give him the glory,
for the marriage of the Lamb has come,
and his bride has made herself ready;(G)
