KJV:
And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.
NKJV:
The nations were angry, and Your wrath has come, And the time of the dead, that they should be judged, And that You should reward Your servants the prophets and the saints, And those who fear Your name, small and great, And should destroy those who destroy the earth.
NIV:
The nations were angry, and your wrath has come. The time has come for judging the dead, and for rewarding your servants the prophets and your people who revere your name, both great and small, and for destroying those who destroy the earth.
Interpretation:
God will destroy those who destroy the earth. The nations were angry, and God's wrath has come. The time has come for judging the dead and rewarding God's servants. The verse shows that those who harm the earth face destruction. God will reward His servants who fear His name. Those who destroy the earth will be destroyed. The verse teaches that God protects His creation. Destroying the earth brings God's judgment. The verse reminds us that God will destroy those who destroy what He created.
