MODERN LITERAL VERSION

14:1 And I saw and behold, the Lamb standing upon the Mount Zion and with him one hundred and forty-four thousand, having his name and the name of his Father, written upon their foreheads.
14:2 And I heard a voice from heaven, like the voice of many waters and like the voice of much thunder. And the voice which I heard was like that of harpists harping with their harps.
14:3 And they are singing a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and the elders and no one could learn the song except the hundred and forty-four thousand, who had been bought out of the earth.
14:4 These are those who were not defiled with women; for* they are virgins. These are those who are following the Lamb wherever he goes. These were bought by Jesus from among men, as the first-fruit to God and to the Lamb.
14:5 And no lie was found in their mouth. They are unblemished.

14:6 And I saw a messenger flying in mid-heaven, having the everlasting good-news to proclaim to those who dwell upon the earth and to every nation and tribe and language and people;
14:7 and he says with a great voice, Fear the Lord and give him glory, because the hour of his judgment has come and worship him who made* the heaven and the earth and sea and springs of waters.

14:8 And another, a second messenger, followed, saying, Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great, who has given all the nations to drink out of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.

14:9 And another messenger, a third, followed them, saying with a great voice, If anyone is worshiping the beast and his image and receives a mark upon his forehead or upon his hand,
14:10 he will also drink out of the wine of the wrath of God. The wrath which is prepared unmixed in the cup of his anger, and he will be tormented with fire and brimstone before the holy messengers and before the Lamb;
14:11 and the smoke of their torment is going up forever and ever, and they have no rest day and night, who are worshiping the beast and his image and if anyone receives the mark of his name.
14:12 Here is the endurance of the holy-ones, those who are keeping the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.

14:13 And I heard the voice from heaven saying to me, Write, fortunate are the dead who die in the Lord from now. Yes, says the Spirit, that* they should rest themselves from their labors, and their works follow with them.

14:14 And I saw and behold, a white cloud, and upon the cloud I saw one sitting similar to a son of man, having upon his head a golden crown and in his hand a sharp sickle.
14:15 And another messenger came out from the temple, crying with a great voice to him who sat upon the cloud, Send forth your sickle and reap, because the hour to reap has come, because the harvest of the earth is ripe.
14:16 And he who sat upon the cloud cast his sickle upon the earth, and the earth was reaped.

14:17 Another messenger came out from the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle.
14:18 And another messenger came out from the altar, he who has authority over fire, and he shouted to him who had the sharp sickle with a great outcry, saying, Send forth your sharp sickle and pick the clusters from the earth, because her grapes are prime.
14:19 And the messenger cast his sickle into the earth and picked the clusters of the vine of the earth and cast it into the winepress, the great winepress of the wrath of God.
14:20 And the winepress was trampled on outside the city and there came out blood from the winepress, even to the bridles of the horses, up to one thousand six hundred furlongs.
