Revelation 12:12

Context

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!”

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.
