REVELATION 16 [†]Then I heard a loud voice from the temple telling  p the seven angels, “Go and  q pour out on the earth  r the seven bowls of the wrath of God.”

2[†]So the first angel went and poured out his bowl on the earth, and harmful and painful  s sores came upon the people who bore  t the mark of the beast and worshiped its image.

3[†]The second angel poured out his bowl into the sea, and  u it became like the blood of a corpse, and  v every living thing died that was in the sea.

4[†]The third angel poured out his bowl into  w the rivers and the springs of water, and  x they became blood. 5And I heard the angel in charge of the waters [1] say,

 y “Just are you,  z O Holy One,  a who is and who was,

for you brought these judgments.

6 For  b they have shed the blood of  c saints and prophets,

and  d you have given them blood to drink.

It is what they deserve!”

7And I heard  e the altar saying,

“Yes, Lord God the Almighty,

 f true and just are your judgments!”

8[†]The fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and it was allowed to scorch people  g with fire. 9They were scorched by the fierce heat, and  h they cursed [2] the name of God who had power over these plagues.  i They did not repent  j and give him glory.

10[†]The fifth angel poured out his bowl on  k the throne of the beast, and  l its kingdom was plunged into darkness. People gnawed their tongues in anguish 11and cursed  m the God of heaven for their pain and  n sores.  o They did not repent of their deeds.

12[†]The sixth angel poured out his bowl on  p the great river Euphrates, and  q its water was dried up,  r to prepare the way for the kings  s from the east. 13And I saw, coming out of the mouth of  t the dragon and out of the mouth of  u the beast and out of the mouth of  v the false prophet, three  w unclean spirits like  x frogs. 14For they are  y demonic spirits,  z performing signs, who go abroad to the kings of the whole world,  a to assemble them for battle on  b the great day of God the Almighty. 15[†](“Behold,  c I am coming like a thief!  d Blessed is the one who stays awake, keeping his garments on,  e that he may not go about naked and be seen exposed!”) 16[†]And  f they assembled them at the place that in Hebrew is called  g Armageddon.

17[†]The seventh angel poured out his bowl into  h the air, and a loud voice came out of the temple, from the throne, saying,  i “It is done!” 18And there were  j flashes of lightning, rumblings, [3] peals of thunder, and  k a great earthquake  l such as there had never been since man was on the earth, so great was that earthquake. 19 m The great city  n was split into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell, and God  o remembered  p Babylon the great,  q to make her drain the cup of the wine of the fury of his wrath. 20And  r every island fled away, and no mountains were to be found. 21And  s great hailstones, about one hundred pounds [4] each, fell from heaven on people; and  t they cursed God for  u the plague of the hail, because the plague was so severe.
