Revelation 16
1And I heard a great voice from the temple saying to the seven angels, "Go and pour out the seven bowls of the fury of God into the earth."
2And the first went and poured out his bowl into the earth, and a harmful and evil sore broke out on the people who have the mark of the beast and those worshiping its image.
3And the second angel poured out his bowl into the sea, and it became blood like that of a dead person, and every living soul in the sea died.
4And the third poured out his bowl into the rivers and into the springs of waters, and they became blood.
5And I heard the angel of the waters saying, "You are righteous, the One who is and who was, the Holy One, because You have judged these things;
6because they poured out the blood of holy ones and prophets, You have given them blood to drink — they are worthy."
7And I heard the altar saying, "Yes, Lord God the Almighty, true and righteous are Your judgments."
8And the fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and it was given to it to scorch people with fire,
9and 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 gnawed their tongues from the pain,
11and they blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and because of their sores, and they did not repent of their works.
12And the sixth poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up so that the road of the kings from the rising of the sun might be prepared.
13And I saw from the mouth of the dragon and from the mouth of the beast and from the mouth of the false prophet three unclean spirits like frogs,
14for they are spirits of evil spirits performing signs, which go out to the kings of the whole inhabited world to gather them for the war of that great day of God the Almighty.
15"Behold, I am coming like a thief; blessed is the one staying awake and keeping his garments so that he does not walk naked and they see his shame."
16And they gathered them together into the place called in Hebrew Armageddon.
17And the seventh poured out his bowl into the air, and a great voice came out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, "It is done."
18And there occurred flashes of lightning and sounds and peals of thunder, and a great earthquake occurred such as had not occurred since people have been on the earth — so great an earthquake, so mighty.
19And the great city became 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 like a talent's weight comes down from heaven on people, and people blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail, for its plague is exceedingly great.
