Revelation11:5
5. will hurt--Greek, "wishes," or "desires to hurt them."
fire ... devoureth--(Compare Jr 5:14; 23:29).
out of their mouth--not literally, but God makes their inspired denunciations of judgment to come to pass and devour their enemies.
if any man will hurt them--twice repeated, to mark the immediate certainty of the accomplishment.
in this manner--so in like manner as he tries to hurt them (compare Re 13:10). Retribution in kind.
