Revelation 19:3

Heaven Exults over Babylon

1 After these things ^aI heard a loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, saying, “Alleluia! ^bSalvation and glory and honor and power belong to² the Lord our God!

2 For ^atrue and righteous are His judgments, because He has judged the great harlot who corrupted the earth with her fornication; and He ^bhas avenged on her the blood of His servants shed by her.”

3 Again they said, “Alleluia! ^aHer smoke rises up forever and ever!”

4 And ^athe twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God who sat on the throne, saying, ^b“Amen! Alleluia!”

5 Then a voice came from the throne, saying, ^a“Praise our God, all you His servants and those who fear Him, ^bboth small and great!”

6 ^aAnd I heard, as it were, the voice of a great multitude, as the sound of many waters and as the sound of mighty thunderings, saying, “Alleluia! For ^bthe Lord God Omnipotent reigns!
