The Seven Bowls of God's Wrath

¹Then I heard a loud voice from the temple telling pthe seven angels, “Go and qpour out on the earth rthe seven bowls of the wrath of God.”

²So the first angel went and poured out his bowl on the earth, and harmful and painful ssores came upon the people who bore tthe mark of the beast and worshiped its image.

³The second angel poured out his bowl into the sea, and uit became like the blood of a corpse, and vevery living thing died that was in the sea.

⁴The third angel poured out his bowl into wthe rivers and the springs of water, and xthey became blood. ⁵And I heard the angel in charge of the waters1 say,

y“Just are you, zO Holy One, awho is and who was,

for you brought these judgments.

⁶For bthey have shed the blood of csaints and prophets,

and dyou have given them blood to drink.

It is what they deserve!”

⁷And I heard ethe altar saying,

“Yes, Lord God the Almighty,

ftrue and just are your judgments!”

⁸The fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and it was allowed to scorch people gwith fire. ⁹They were scorched by the fierce heat, and hthey cursed2 the name of God who had power over these plagues. iThey did not repent jand give him glory.

¹⁰The fifth angel poured out his bowl on kthe throne of the beast, and lits kingdom was plunged into darkness. People gnawed their tongues in anguish ¹¹and cursed mthe God of heaven for their pain and nsores. oThey did not repent of their deeds.

¹²The sixth angel poured out his bowl on pthe great river Euphrates, and qits water was dried up, rto prepare the way for the kings sfrom the east. ¹³And I saw, coming out of the mouth of tthe dragon and out of the mouth of uthe beast and out of the mouth of vthe false prophet, three wunclean spirits like xfrogs. ¹⁴For they are ydemonic spirits, zperforming signs, who go abroad to the kings of the whole world, ato assemble them for battle on bthe great day of God the Almighty. ¹⁵(“Behold, cI am coming like a thief! dBlessed is the one who stays awake, keeping his garments on, ethat he may not go about naked and be seen exposed!”) ¹⁶And fthey assembled them at the place that in Hebrew is called gArmageddon.

The Seventh Bowl

¹⁷The seventh angel poured out his bowl into hthe air, and a loud voice came out of the temple, from the throne, saying, i“It is done!” ¹⁸And there were jflashes of lightning, rumblings,3 peals of thunder, and ka great earthquake lsuch as there had never been since man was on the earth, so great was that earthquake. ¹⁹mThe great city nwas split into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell, and God oremembered pBabylon the great, qto make her drain the cup of the wine of the fury of his wrath. ²⁰And revery island fled away, and no mountains were to be found. ²¹And sgreat hailstones, about one hundred pounds4 each, fell from heaven on people; and tthey cursed God for uthe plague of the hail, because the plague was so severe.
