And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.

Verse 5 is found in chapter 11 of Revelation. The two witnesses receive authority to prophesy for one thousand two hundred sixty days while clothed in sackcloth. They are described as the two olive trees and the two lampstands standing before the Lord of the earth, evoking the vision of Zechariah 4. Their power recalls episodes involving Moses and Elijah: shutting the sky, turning waters into blood, and striking the earth with plagues. The combination of these backgrounds presents the witnesses as prophetic representatives who confront the world with God’s testimony.

Und so jemand sie will schädigen, so geht Feuer aus ihrem Munde und verzehrt ihre Feinde; und so jemand sie will schädigen, der muß also getötet werden.
Y si alguno les quisiere dañar, sale fuego de la boca de ellos, y devora a sus enemigos: y si alguno les quisiere hacer daño, es necesario que Él sea así muerto.
Si alguien quiere hacerles daño, sale fuego de sus bocas y devora a sus enemigos. Si alguien quiere hacerles daño, así debe morir.
Si quelqu'un veut leur faire du mal, du feu sort de leur bouche et dévore leurs ennemis; et si quelqu'un veut leur faire du mal, il faut qu'il soit tué de cette manière.
E se alcuno li vuole offendere, fuoco esce dalla bocca loro, e divora i lor nemici; e se alcuno li vuole offendere, convien ch’egli sia ucciso in questa maniera.
E, se alguém lhes quiser fazer mal, fogo sairá da sua boca, e devorará os seus inimigos; e, se alguém lhes quiser fazer mal, importa que assim seja morto.
若有人想要害他們,就有火從他們口中噴出來,燒滅仇敵;凡想要害他們的都必須這樣被殺。
