Revelation 15:1-4

New International Version

Seven Angels With Seven Plagues

15 I saw in heaven another great and marvelous sign:^(A) seven angels^(B) with the seven last plagues^(C)—last, because with them God’s wrath is completed. ²And I saw what looked like a sea of glass^(D) glowing with fire and, standing beside the sea, those who had been victorious^(E) over the beast^(F) and its image^(G) and over the number of its name.^(H) They held harps^(I) given them by God ³and sang the song of God’s servant^(J) Moses^(K) and of the Lamb:^(L)

“Great and marvelous are your deeds,^(M)
    Lord God Almighty.^(N)
Just and true are your ways,^(O)
    King of the nations.^[a]
⁴Who will not fear you, Lord,^(P)
    and bring glory to your name?^(Q)
For you alone are holy.
All nations will come
    and worship before you,^(R)
for your righteous acts^(S) have been revealed.”^[b]
