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!”

Revelation 14:10

Context
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.”
