If anyone would harm them, ^ajthis is how he is doomed to be killed. 6 They have the power ^akto shut the sky, that no rain may fall during the days of their prophesying, and they have power over the waters to turn them into blood and ^alto strike the earth with every kind of plague, as often as they desire. 7 And when they have finished their testimony, ^amthe beast that rises from ^anthe bottomless pit ^{▼▼Or the abyss} ^apwill make war on them and conquer them and kill them, 8 and their dead bodies will lie in the street of the great city that symbolically ^{▼▼Greek spiritually} is called ^arSodom and ^asEgypt, where their Lord was crucified. 9 For three and a half days some from the peoples and tribes and languages and nations will gaze at their dead bodies and ^atrefuse to let them be placed in a tomb, 10 and ^authose who dwell on the earth will rejoice over them and make merry and ^avexchange presents, because these two prophets ^awhad been a torment to those who dwell on the earth. 11 But after the three and a half days ^axa breath of life from God entered them, and they stood up on their feet, and great fear fell on those who saw them.
