Revelation 16

¹ Then I heard a loud voice from the temple saying to the seven angels, "Go, pour out on the earth the seven bowls of God's wrath."

² The first angel went and poured out his bowl on the earth, and ugly, painful sores broke out on the people who had the mark of the beast and worshiped its image.

³ The second angel poured out his bowl on the sea, and it turned to blood like that of a corpse, and every living thing in the sea died.

⁴ The third angel poured out his bowl on the rivers and the springs of water, and they became blood.

⁵ Then I heard the angel of the waters say:
"You are just, the One who is and who was, the Holy One,
because you have judged these things.

⁶ For they shed the blood of your holy people and your prophets,
and you have given them blood to drink. They deserve it."

⁷ And I heard the altar respond:
"Yes, Lord God Almighty,
true and just are your judgments."

⁸ The fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and the sun was allowed to scorch people with fire.

⁹ They were scorched by the intense heat, and they cursed the name of God, who had power over these plagues, but they refused to repent and give him glory.

¹⁰ The fifth angel poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast, and its kingdom was plunged into darkness. People gnawed their tongues in agony

¹¹ and cursed the God of heaven for their pains and sores, but they refused to repent of what they had done.

¹² The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up to prepare the way for the kings from the east.

¹³ Then I saw three impure spirits that looked like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.

¹⁴ They are demonic spirits that perform signs, and they go out to the kings of the whole world, to gather them for the battle on the great day of God Almighty.

¹⁵ "Look, I am coming like a thief! Blessed is the one who stays awake and keeps his clothes on, so that he will not go naked and be shamefully exposed."

¹⁶ Then they gathered the kings together to the place that in Hebrew is called Armageddon.

¹⁷ The seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air, and a loud voice came out of the temple, from the throne, saying, "It is done!"

¹⁸ Then there came flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder, and a massive earthquake. No earthquake like it has ever happened since people have been on the earth - so tremendous was the quake.

¹⁹ The great city split into three parts, and the cities of the nations collapsed. God remembered Babylon the Great and gave her the cup filled with the wine of the fury of his wrath.

²⁰ Every island fled, and the mountains could not be found.

²¹ And huge hailstones, each weighing about a hundred pounds, fell from the sky on people. And they cursed God for the plague of hail, because the plague was so terrible.
