51:10 The exiles from Judah will say, 1
‘The Lord has brought about a great deliverance for us! 2
Come on, let’s go and proclaim in Zion
what the Lord our God has done!’
58:10 The godly 3 will rejoice when they see vengeance carried out;
they will bathe their feet in the blood of the wicked.
58:11 Then 4 observers 5 will say,
“Yes indeed, the godly are rewarded! 6
Yes indeed, there is a God who judges 7 in the earth!”
11:10 When the righteous do well, 8 the city rejoices; 9
when the wicked perish, there is joy.
44:23 Shout for joy, O sky, for the Lord intervenes; 10
shout out, you subterranean regions 11 of the earth.
O mountains, give a joyful shout;
you too, O forest and all your trees! 12
For the Lord protects 13 Jacob;
he reveals his splendor through Israel. 14
48:20 Leave Babylon!
Flee from the Babylonians!
Announce it with a shout of joy!
Make this known!
Proclaim it throughout the earth! 15
Say, ‘The Lord protects 16 his servant Jacob.
49:13 Shout for joy, O sky! 17
Rejoice, O earth!
Let the mountains give a joyful shout!
For the Lord consoles his people
and shows compassion to the 18 oppressed.
15:1 Then 19 I saw another great and astounding sign in heaven: seven angels who have seven final plagues 20 (they are final because in them God’s anger is completed).
15:2 Then 21 I saw something like a sea of glass 22 mixed with fire, and those who had conquered 23 the beast and his image and the number of his name. They were standing 24 by 25 the sea of glass, holding harps given to them by God. 26 15:3 They 27 sang the song of Moses the servant 28 of God and the song of the Lamb: 29
“Great and astounding are your deeds,
Lord God, the All-Powerful! 30
Just 31 and true are your ways,
King over the nations! 32
15:4 Who will not fear you, O Lord,
and glorify 33 your name, because you alone are holy? 34
All nations 35 will come and worship before you
for your righteous acts 36 have been revealed.”
16:4 Then 37 the third angel 38 poured out his bowl on the rivers and the springs of water, and they turned into blood. 16:5 Now 39 I heard the angel of the waters saying:
“You are just 40 – the one who is and who was,
the Holy One – because you have passed these judgments, 41
16:6 because they poured out the blood of your saints and prophets,
so 42 you have given them blood to drink. They got what they deserved!” 43
16:7 Then 44 I heard the altar reply, 45 “Yes, Lord God, the All-Powerful, 46 your judgments are true and just!”
18:20 (Rejoice over her, O heaven,
and you saints and apostles and prophets,
for God has pronounced judgment 47 against her on your behalf!) 48
19:1 After these things I heard what sounded like the loud voice of a vast throng in heaven, saying,
“Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God,
19:2 because his judgments are true and just. 49
For he has judged 50 the great prostitute
who corrupted the earth with her sexual immorality,
and has avenged the blood of his servants 51 poured out by her own hands!” 52
19:3 Then 53 a second time the crowd shouted, “Hallelujah!” The smoke rises from her forever and ever. 54 19:4 The twenty-four elders and the four living creatures threw themselves to the ground 55 and worshiped God, who was seated on the throne, saying: “Amen! Hallelujah!”
19:5 Then 56 a voice came from the throne, saying:
“Praise our God
all you his servants,
and all you who fear Him,
both the small and the great!”
19:6 Then 57 I heard what sounded like the voice of a vast throng, like the roar of many waters and like loud crashes of thunder. They were shouting: 58
“Hallelujah!
For the Lord our God, 59 the All-Powerful, 60 reigns!
19:7 Let us rejoice 61 and exult
and give him glory,
because the wedding celebration of the Lamb has come,
and his bride has made herself ready.
