8. But for the cowardly and faithless and detestable and murderers and sexually immoral and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars—their lot is in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”
9. Then came one of the seven angels holding the seven bowls full of the seven final plagues, and he spoke with me, saying, “Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.”
10. Then he carried me away in the Ruach to a great and high mountain, and he showed me the holy city, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God,
11. having the glory of God—her radiance like a most precious stone, like a jasper, sparkling like crystal.
12. She had a great, high wall, with twelve gates, and above the gates twelve angels. On the gates were inscribed the names of the twelve tribes of Bnei-Yisrael—
13. three gates on the east, three gates on the north, three gates on the south, and three gates on the west.
14. And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them the twelve names of the twelve emissaries of the Lamb.
15. The angel speaking with me had a gold measuring rod to measure the city and its gates and walls.
16. The city is laid out as a square—its length the same as its width. He measured the city with the rod—12,000 stadia. Its length and width and height are equal.
17. He also measured its wall—144 cubits by human measurement, which is also an angel’s measurement.
