Verse 8 is found in chapter 11 of Revelation. When they finish their testimony, the beast that rises from the abyss wages war against them, conquers them, and kills them. Their corpses remain exposed in the great city, symbolically identified as Sodom and Egypt, where their Lord was also crucified. The nations celebrate their death and exchange gifts because the witnesses had tormented the inhabitants of the earth through their proclamation. The passage shows the apparent victory of hostile power over prophetic testimony.

Und ihre Leichname werden liegen auf der Gasse der großen Stadt, die da heißt geistlich "Sodom und Ägypten", da auch der HERR gekreuzigt ist.
Y sus cuerpos serán echados en las plazas de la grande ciudad, que espiritualmente es llamada Sodoma y Egipto, donde también nuestro Señor fue crucificado.
Sus cadáveres quedarán en la plaza de la gran ciudad que, en sentido espiritual, se llama Sodoma y Egipto, donde también fue crucificado su Señor.
Et leurs cadavres seront sur la place de la grande ville, qui est appelée, dans un sens spirituel, Sodome et Egypte, là même où leur Seigneur a été crucifié.
E i lor corpi morti giaceranno in su la piazza della gran città, la quale spiritualmente si chiama Sodoma ed Egitto; dove ancora è stato crocifisso il Signor loro.
E jazerão os seus corpos mortos na praça da grande cidade que espiritualmente se chama Sodoma e Egito, onde o seu Senhor também foi crucificado.
他們的屍首將倒在大城的街道上;這城按著靈意叫 所多瑪 ,又叫 埃及 ,就是他們的主釘十字架的地方。
