17 saying,
We give you thanks, Lord God, the Almighty,
who is and who was, 11:17 Other mss add and who is to come, 11:17 Rv 1:4,8; 4:8; 16:5
because you have taken your great power
and have begun to reign. 11:17 Lk 1:33; 1Co 15:25; Rv 19:6
18 The nations were angry, 11:18 Ps 2:1
but your wrath has come.
The time has come
for the dead to be judged
and to give the reward
to your servants the prophets, 11:18 Rv 10:7
to the saints, and to those who fear your name,
both small and great, 11:18 2Kg 23:2; Ps 115:13; Rv 19:5
and the time has come to destroy
those who destroy the earth.
