| Chapter 16 |
1 | And I heard a great voice out of the temple, saying to the seven angels, Go and pour out the seven bowls of the fury of God upon the earth. |
2 | And the first went and poured out his bowl on the earth; and there came an evil and grievous sore upon the men that had the mark of the beast, and those who worshipped its image. |
3 | And the second poured out his bowl on the sea; and it became blood, as of a dead man; and every living soul died in the sea. |
4 | And the third poured out his bowl on the rivers, and [on] the fountains of waters; and they became blood. |
5 | And I heard the angel of the waters saying, Thou art righteous, who art and wast, the holy one, that thou hast judged so; |
6 | for they have poured out the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; they are worthy. |
7 | And I heard the altar saying, Yea, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous [are] thy judgments. |
8 | And the fourth poured out his bowl on the sun; and it was given to it to burn men with fire. |
9 | And the men were burnt with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, who had authority over these plagues, and did not repent to give him glory. |
10 | And the fifth poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast; and its kingdom became darkened; and they gnawed their tongues with distress, |
11 | and blasphemed the God of the heaven for their distresses and their sores, and did not repent of their works. |
12 | And the sixth poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates; and its water was dried up, that the way of the kings from the rising of the sun might be prepared. |
13 | And I saw out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits, as frogs; |
14 | for they are [the] spirits of demons, doing signs; which go out to the kings of the whole habitable world to gather them together to the war of [that] great day of God the Almighty. |
15 | (Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed [is] he that watches and keeps his garments, that he may not walk naked, and that they [may not] see his shame.) |
16 | And he gathered them together to the place called in Hebrew, Armagedon. |
17 | And the seventh poured out his bowl on the air; and there came out a great voice from the temple of the heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done. |
18 | And there were lightnings, and voices, and thunders; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, such an earthquake, so great. |
19 | And the great city was [divided] into three parts; and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon was remembered before God to give her the cup of the wine of the fury of his wrath. |
20 | And every island fled, and mountains were not found; |
21 | and a great hail, as of a talent weight, comes down out of the heaven upon men; and men blasphemed God because of the plague of hail, for the plague of it is exceeding great. |
