“ Do not harm the land or the sea or the trees,” he said.“ Wait until we mark with this seal the foreheads of those who serve our God.”

“地与海并树木，你们不可伤害，等我们印了我们神众仆人的额。”

说：“你们不可伤害地、海和树林，等我们在我们上帝众仆人的额上盖了印。”

说：“你们不可伤害地、海和树林，等我们在我们神众仆人的额上盖了印。”

“我们还没在上帝的奴仆额上盖印之前，你们不可伤害地、海和树木。”

说：“你们不要伤害地、海和树木，等我们在神众仆人的额上先盖上了印。”

说：“不要伤害大地、海洋和树木，直到我们在我们神的奴仆们额上盖了印。”

「地與海並樹木，你們不可傷害，等我們印了我們神眾僕人的額。」

說：「你們不可傷害地、海和樹林，等我們在我們上帝眾僕人的額上蓋了印。」

說：「你們不可傷害地、海和樹林，等我們在我們神眾僕人的額上蓋了印。」

「我們還沒在上帝的奴僕額上蓋印之前，你們不可傷害地、海和樹木。」

說：“你們不要傷害地、海和樹木，等我們在神眾僕人的額上先蓋上了印。”

說：『地或海或樹木、你們別傷害，等到我們在我們上帝之僕人們額上蓋上了印為止。』

說：「不要傷害大地、海洋和樹木，直到我們在我們神的奴僕們額上蓋了印。」

勿傷地或海或樹、待我印我上帝諸僕之額、

陸地若海若樹、勿毀傷、上帝僕眾、俟我以印誌其顙、

且勿傷地與海與樹、待我印我天主眾僕之額、

「毋傷陸、海、森林、俟吾印誌天主眾僕之顙。」

“ Do not harm the land or the sea or the trees until we put a seal on the foreheads of the servants of our God.”

saying,“ Do not harm the earth or the sea or the trees, until we have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads.”

“ Wait! Don’t harm the land or the sea or the trees until we have placed the seal of God on the foreheads of his servants.”

“ Don’t harm the earth or the sea or the trees until we seal the servants of our God on their foreheads.”

saying,“ Do not harm the earth, or the sea, or the trees until we have sealed the bond servants of our God on their foreheads.”

saying,“ Do not harm the earth, the sea, or the trees till we have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads.”

saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we shall have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads.

“ Don’t harm the earth or the sea or the trees until we seal the slaves of our God on their foreheads.”

Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.

“ Do not damage the earth or the sea or the trees until we have put a seal on the foreheads of the servants of our God.”

saying,“ Don’t harm the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, until we have sealed the bondservants of our God on their foreheads!”

The Lord said to him,“ Go all through Jerusalem. Look for those who are sad and sorry about all the things being done there. I hate those things. Put a mark on the foreheads of those people.”

It also forced everyone to receive a mark on their right hand or on their forehead. People great or small, rich or poor, free or slave had to receive the mark.

They will see his face. His name will be on their foreheads.

They were told not to harm the grass of the earth or any plant or tree. They were supposed to harm only the people without God’s official seal on their foreheads.

I looked, and there in front of me was the Lamb. He was standing on Mount Zion. With him were 144,000 people. Written on their foreheads were his name and his Father’s name.

The blood on your houses will be a sign for you. When I see the blood, I will pass over you. No deadly plague will touch you when I strike Egypt.

I saw thrones. Those who had been given authority to judge were sitting on them. I also saw the souls of those whose heads had been cut off. They had been killed because they had spoken what was true about Jesus. They had also been killed because of the word of God. They had not worshiped the beast or its statue. They had not received its mark on their foreheads or hands. They came to life and ruled with Christ for 1,000 years.

But no weapon used against you will succeed. People might bring charges against you. But you will prove that they are wrong. Those are the things I do for my servants. I make everything right for them,” announces the Lord.

Next, I heard what sounded like a voice coming from among the four living creatures. It said,“ Two pounds of wheat for a day’s pay. And six pounds of barley for a day’s pay. And leave the olive oil and the wine alone!”

My people, go into your houses. Shut the doors behind you. Hide yourselves for a little while. Do it until the Lord’ s anger is over.He is coming from the place where he lives. He will punish the people of the earth for their sins. The blood spilled on the earth will be brought out into the open. The ground will no longer hide those who have been killed.

Then once again you will see the difference between godly people and sinful people. And you will see the difference between those who serve me and those who do not.

The way he judges is true and fair. He has judged the great prostitute. She made the earth impure with her terrible sins. God has paid her back for killing those who served him.”

The Lord will go through the land to strike down the Egyptians. He’ll see the blood on the top and sides of the doorframe. He will pass over that house. He won’t let the destroying angel enter your homes to strike you down.

Suppose only a tenth of the people remain there. Even then the land will be completely destroyed again. But when oak trees and terebinth trees are cut down, stumps are left. And my holy people will be like stumps that begin to grow again.”

“ If the time had not been cut short, no one would live. But because of God’s chosen people, it will be shortened.

The Lord will use war to punish Israel. He will make them leave their land. With a strong blast of his anger he will drive them out. It will be as if the east wind were blowing.

So look to him, all you people in the land who worship him faithfully. You always do what he commands you to do. Continue to do what is right. Don’t be proud. Then perhaps the Lord will keep you safe on the day he pours out his anger on the world.

But I will treat Israel’s livestock differently from yours. No animal that belongs to the people of Israel will die.” ’ ”The Lord set a time for the plague. He said,“ Tomorrow I will send it on the land.”So the next day the Lord sent it. All the livestock of the Egyptians died. But not one animal that belonged to the Israelites died.

Anyone who serves me must follow me. And where I am, my servant will also be. My Father will honor the one who serves me.

He will send his angels with a loud trumpet call. They will gather his chosen people from all four directions. They will bring them from one end of the heavens to the other.

Then the king approached the opening of the blazing furnace. He shouted,“ Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, come out! You who serve the Most High God, come here!” So they came out of the fire.

You have been set free from sin. God has made you his slaves. The benefit you gain leads to holy living. And the end result is eternal life.

So the king gave the order. Daniel was brought out and thrown into the lions’ den. The king said to him,“ You always serve your God faithfully. So may he save you!”

We might be thrown into the blazing furnace. But the God we serve is able to bring us out of it alive. He will save us from your power.

The Lord says,“ Sometimes juice is still left in grapes that have been crushed. So people say,‘ Don’t destroy them.’ They are still of some benefit.” That is what I will do for the good of those who serve me. I will not destroy all my people.
