16:1 Then I heard a loud voice from the temple declaring to the seven angels, “Go and pour out on the earth the seven bowls of God’s wrath.” ·
16:2 So the first angel went and poured out · his bowl on the earth, and a repulsive and malignant sore broke out on · everyone who bore the mark of the beast and who worshiped · his image.
16:3 · The second angel poured out · his bowl on the sea and it turned into blood like that of a corpse, and every living creature in the sea died. ·
16:4 · The third angel poured out · his bowl on the rivers and the springs of water, and they turned into blood.
16:5 Then I heard the angel in charge of the waters say, “You are just, O Holy One, who is and who was, because you brought these judgments,
16:6 because they shed the blood of saints and prophets, and you have given them blood to drink. It is what they deserve!”
16:7 And I heard the altar saying, “Yes indeed, O Lord · God the Almighty, true and just are · your judgments!”
16:8 · The fourth angel poured out · his bowl on the sun, and it was allowed to scorch · people with fire.
16:9 · Although scorched by the fierce heat the people · cursed the name of God who had · authority over · these plagues, and would not repent and give him glory.
16:10 · The fifth angel poured out · his bowl on the throne of the beast, and his kingdom was plunged into · darkness. · People gnawed · their tongues in · pain
16:11 and cursed the God of heaven for · their pain and · sores, but they would not repent of · their deeds.
16:12 · 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.
16:13 And I saw three unclean spirits, which looked 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.
16:14 They were demonic spirits, performing signs, who go out to the kings of the whole world to assemble them for · battle on the great day · of God the Almighty.
16:15 (“Behold, I am coming like a thief! Blessed is the one who stays awake and keeps · his clothes at hand, so that he will not be caught naked and his shameful condition be seen.”) ·
16:16 And the spirits gathered the kings to the place that in Hebrew is called Armageddon.
16:17 Then the seventh angel poured out · his bowl on the air, and out of the temple came a loud voice from the throne, saying, “It is done!”
16:18 · There came flashes of lightning, · rumblings, · peals of thunder, and a violent earthquake such as there had never been since man was on the earth, so violent was that earthquake.
16:19 · The great city was split · into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell. So Babylon the great was remembered before · God and was given the cup filled with the wine of his fierce anger. ·
16:20 · Every island fled away and no mountains could be found.
16:21 And enormous hailstones, about one hundred pounds each, fell from · heaven on · people, and people blasphemed · · God for the plague of hail, because the plague was so devastating.
