Then I heard something like the voice of a vast multitude, like the sound of cascading waters,(A) and like the rumbling of loud thunder, saying,

Hallelujah, because our Lord God, the Almighty,
reigns!(B)
Let us be glad, rejoice, and give him glory,(C)
because the marriage of the Lamb has come,
and his bride has prepared herself.(D)
She was given fine linen to wear, bright and pure.(E)

For the fine linen represents the righteous acts of the saints.(F)

Then he[a] said to me,(G) “Write: Blessed are those invited to the marriage feast(H) of the Lamb!” He also said to me, “These words of God are true.”(I) 10 Then I fell at his feet to worship him, but he said to me, “Don’t do that!(J) I am a fellow servant with you and your brothers and sisters who hold firmly to the testimony of Jesus.(K) Worship God, because the testimony of Jesus is the spirit[b] of prophecy.”
