Revelation 12:12

12:12 Therefore you heavens rejoice, and all who reside in them!

But ¹  woe to the earth and the sea

because the devil has come down to you!

He ²  is filled with terrible anger,

for he knows that he only has a little time!”

Revelation 14:10

14:10 that person ³  will also drink of the wine of God’s anger ⁴  that has been mixed undiluted in the cup of his wrath, and he will be tortured with fire and sulfur ⁵  in front of the holy angels and in front of the Lamb.

¹ tn The word “But” is not in the Greek text, but the contrast is clearly implied. This is a case of asyndeton (lack of a connective).

² tn Grk “and is filled,” a continuation of the previous sentence. Because English tends to use shorter sentences (especially when exclamations are involved), a new sentence was started here in the translation.

³ tn Grk “he himself.”

⁴ tn The Greek word for “anger” here is θυμός (qumos), a wordplay on the “passion” (θυμός) of the personified city of Babylon in 14:8.

⁵ tn Traditionally, “brimstone.”
