Revelation of John 16

The Bowls of Wrath

1 Then I heard a loud voice from ^athe ^{▼▼Or sanctuary}temple, saying to the ^cseven angels, “Go and ^dpour out on the earth the seven bowls of the wrath of God.”

2 So the first angel went and poured out his bowl ^eon the earth; and a harmful and painful ^fsore ^{▼▼Lit came upon}afflicted the people ^hwho had the mark of the beast and who worshiped his image.

3 The second angel poured out his bowl ⁱinto the sea, and it became blood like that of a dead man; and every living ^{▼▼Lit soul}thing in the sea died.

4 Then the third angel poured out his bowl into the ^krivers and the springs of waters; and they ^lbecame blood. 5 And I heard the angel of the waters saying, “ ^mRighteous are You, ⁿthe One who is and who was, O ^oHoly One, because You ^pjudged these things; 6 for they poured out ^qthe blood of saints and prophets, and You have given them ^rblood to drink. They ^{▼▼Lit are worthy}deserve it.” 7 And I heard ^tthe altar saying, “Yes, ^uLord God, the Almighty, ^vtrue and righteous are Your judgments.”

8 And the fourth angel poured out his bowl upon ^wthe sun, ^xand it was given power to scorch people with fire. 9 And the people were scorched with ^{▼▼Lit great}fierce heat; and they ^zblasphemed the name of God who has the power over these plagues, and they ^aadid not repent so as to ^abgive Him glory.

10 And the fifth angel poured out his bowl on the ^acthrone of the beast, and his kingdom became ^addarkened; and they gnawed their tongues because of pain, 11 and they ^aeblasphemed the ^afGod of heaven because of their pain and their ^agsores; and they ^ahdid not repent of their deeds.

12 The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the ^aigreat river, the Euphrates; and ^ajits water was dried up, so that ^akthe way would be prepared for the kings ^alfrom the ^{▼▼Lit rising of the sun}east.

Har-Magedon (Armageddon)

13 And I saw coming out of the mouth of the ^andragon, and out of the mouth of the ^aobeast, and out of the mouth of the ^apfalse prophet, three ^aqunclean spirits like ^arfrogs; 14 for they are ^asspirits of demons, ^atperforming signs, which go out to the kings of the ^auentire ^{▼▼Lit inhabited earth}world, to ^awgather them together for the war of the ^axgreat day of God, the Almighty. 15 (“Behold, ^ayI am coming like a thief. ^azBlessed is the one who stays awake and keeps his clothes, ^baso that he will not walk about naked and people will not see his shame.”) 16 And they ^bbgathered them together to the place which ^bcin Hebrew is called ^bdHar-Magedon.

The Seventh Bowl of Wrath

17 Then the seventh angel poured out his bowl upon ^bethe air, and a ^bfloud voice came out of the ^{▼▼Or sanctuary
,} ^bhtemple from the throne, saying, “ ^biIt is done.” 18 And there were flashes of ^bjlightning and sounds and peals of thunder; and there was ^bka great earthquake, ^blsuch as there had not been since mankind came to be upon the earth, so great an earthquake was it, and so mighty. 19 ^bmThe great city ^{▼▼Lit became three}was split into three parts, and the cities of the ^{▼▼Or Gentiles}nations fell. ^bpBabylon the great was ^bqremembered in the sight of God, to give her ^brthe cup of the wine of ^{▼▼Lit wrath of His anger}His fierce wrath. 20 And ^btevery island fled, and no mountains were found. 21 And ^buhuge ^{▼▼Lit hail}hailstones, weighing about ^{▼▼I.e., as a measure of weight about 100 lb. or 45 kg}a talent each, *came down from heaven upon people; and people ^bxblasphemed God because of the ^byplague of the hail, because ^{▼▼Lit its plague}the hailstone plague *was extremely ^{▼▼Lit great}severe.
