And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.

Verse 9 is found in chapter 20 of Revelation. When the thousand years are completed, Satan is released and again deceives the nations, symbolized by Gog and Magog, gathering them against the saints. The attack is stopped by fire descending from heaven. The devil is thrown into the lake of fire where the beast and false prophet already are. The sequence insists that even after a period of restraint, Satan’s rebellion does not lead to an alternative victory: it ends definitively under God’s judgment.

Und sie zogen herauf auf die Breite der Erde und umringten das Heerlager der Heiligen und die geliebte Stadt. Und es fiel Feuer von Gott aus dem Himmel und verzehrte sie.
Y subieron sobre la anchura de la tierra, y circundaron el campo de los santos, y la ciudad amada: y de Dios descendió fuego del cielo, y los devoró.
Subieron por la anchura de la tierra y rodearon el campamento de los santos y la ciudad amada. Descendió fuego del cielo y los devoró.
Et ils montèrent sur la surface de la terre, et ils investirent le camp des saints et la ville bien-aimée. Mais un feu descendit du ciel, et les dévora.
Ma dal cielo scenderà del fuoco, mandato da Dio, e le divorerà.
E subiram sobre a largura da terra, e cercaram o arraial dos santos e a cidade amada; e de Deus desceu fogo, do céu, e os devorou.
他們上來佈滿了全地,圍住聖徒的營與蒙愛的城,就有火從天降下,燒滅了他們。
