Revelation 14:10-11

14:10 that person ¹  will also drink of the wine of God’s anger ²  that has been mixed undiluted in the cup of his wrath, and he will be tortured with fire and sulfur ³  in front of the holy angels and in front of the Lamb. 14:11 And the smoke from their ⁴  torture will go up ⁵  forever and ever, and those who worship the beast and his image will have ⁶  no rest day or night, along with ⁷  anyone who receives the mark of his name.”

Revelation 18:18

18:18 and began to shout ⁸  when they saw the smoke from the fire that burned her up, ⁹  “Who is like the great city?”

Revelation 19:3

19:3 Then ¹⁰  a second time the crowd shouted, “Hallelujah!” The smoke rises from her forever and ever. ¹¹ 

¹ tn Grk “he himself.”

² 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.

³ tn Traditionally, “brimstone.”

⁴ tn The Greek pronoun is plural here even though the verbs in the previous verse are singular.

⁵ tn The present tense ἀναβαίνει (anabainei) has been translated as a futuristic present (ExSyn 535-36). This is also consistent with the future passive βασανισθήσεται (basanisqhsetai) in v. 10.

⁶ tn The present tense ἔχουσιν (ecousin) has been translated as a futuristic present to keep the English tense consistent with the previous verb (see note on “will go up” earlier in this verse).

⁷ tn Grk “and.”

⁸ tn Here the imperfect ἔκραζον (ekrazon) has been translated ingressively.

⁹ tn Grk “from the burning of her, saying.” For the translation “the smoke from the fire that burned her up,” see L&N 14.63. Here the participle λέγοντες (legontes, “saying”) has not been translated because it is redundant in contemporary English.

¹⁰ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence within the narrative.

¹¹ tn Or “her smoke ascends forever and ever.”
