Revelation 16

1And I heard a loud voice from the sanctuary saying to the seven angels, “Go and pour out the seven bowls of the wrath of God onto the earth.”

2And the first went and poured out his bowl onto the earth, and a harmful and grievous sore came upon the people who had the mark of the beast and who worshiped its image.

3And the second poured out his bowl into the sea, and it became blood like that of a dead man, and every living creature in the sea died.

4And the third poured out his bowl into the rivers and the springs of water, and it became blood.

5And I heard the angel of the waters saying, “Righteous are you, the one who is and who was, the Holy One, because you have judged these things.”

6because they poured out the blood of saints and prophets, and you have given them blood to drink; they are worthy.

7And I heard the altar saying, “Yes, Lord God, the Almighty, true and just are your judgments.”

8And the fourth poured out his bowl on the sun, and it was given to it to scorch the people with fire.

9And the people were scorched with great heat, and they blasphemed the name of God, who has authority over these plagues, and they did not repent to give him glory.

10And the fifth poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast, and its kingdom became darkened, and they were gnawing their tongues because of the pain,

11And they blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and they did not repent of their deeds.

12And the sixth poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up, so that the way of the kings from the rising of the sun might be prepared.

13And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs coming out of the mouth of the dragon, out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.

14For they are spirits of demons, performing signs, which go out to the kings of the whole world, to gather them for the battle of the great day of God the Almighty—

15Behold, I am coming like a thief. Blessed is the one who stays awake and keeps his garments, so that he may not walk about naked and they see his shame—

16And he gathered them to the place that in Hebrew is called Armageddon.

17And the seventh poured out his bowl into the air, and a loud voice came out from the sanctuary, from the throne, saying, “It has come to pass.”

18And there were flashes of lightning and sounds and peals of thunder, and there was a great earthquake, such as had not happened since men came to be on the earth—so great was that earthquake.

19And the great city was split into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell. And Babylon the great was remembered before God, to give her the cup of the wine of the fury of his wrath.

20And every island fled, and mountains were not found.

21And great hail, about a talent in weight, comes down from heaven upon the people; and the people blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail, because its plague is exceedingly severe.
