¶ And there was given me a reed¹ like unto a rod: and the² angel stood, saying, Rise³, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein.

But the court⁴ which is without the temple leave out⁵, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the⁶ holy city shall they tread⁷ under foot forty⁸ and two months.

¶ And I will give power⁹ unto my two¹⁰ witnesses¹¹, and they shall¹² prophesy a thousand¹³ two hundred and threescore days, clothed¹⁴ in sackcloth.

These are the two olive¹⁵ trees, and the two candlesticks¹⁶ standing¹⁷ before the God¹⁸ of the earth.

And if any man will hurt them, fire¹⁹ proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.

These have power²⁰ to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over²¹ waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will.

And when²² they shall have finished their testimony, the beast²³ that ascendeth out²⁴ of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.

And their dead²⁵ bodies shall lie in the street of the great²⁶ city, which spiritually is called Sodom²⁷ and Egypt²⁸, where also our Lord²⁹ was crucified.

And they of the people³⁰ and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three³¹ days and an half, and shall not³² suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.

¶ And they that dwell³³ upon the earth shall rejoice³⁴ over them, and make³⁵ merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these³⁶ two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth.

And after three³⁷ days and an half the Spirit³⁸ of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great³⁹ fear fell upon them which saw them.

And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come⁴⁰ up hither. And they⁴¹ ascended up to heaven in⁴² a cloud; and their⁴³ enemies beheld them.

And the same hour was there⁴⁴ a great earthquake, and the tenth⁴⁵ part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men⁴⁶ seven thousand: and the remnant⁴⁷ were affrighted, and gave⁴⁸ glory to the God of heaven.

¶⁴⁹The second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe cometh quickly.

And the seventh⁵⁰ angel sounded; and there⁵¹ were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms⁵² of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he⁵³ shall reign for ever and ever.

⁵⁴And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God,

Saying, We give⁵⁵ thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty⁵⁶, which⁵⁷ art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast⁵⁸ taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned.

And the nations⁵⁹ were angry, and thy⁶⁰ wrath is come, and the time⁶¹ of the dead, that they should be judged, and that⁶² thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them⁶³ that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest⁶⁴ destroy them which destroy⁶⁵ the earth.

And the temple⁶⁶ of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark⁶⁷ of his testament: and there were⁶⁸ lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great⁶⁹ hail.
