Revelation of John 16

The Seven Bowls of God’s Wrath

1 Then I heard a loud voice from the temple telling ⁱthe seven angels, “Go and ^jpour out on the earth ^kthe seven bowls of the wrath of God.”

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

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

4 The third angel poured out his bowl into ^pthe rivers and the springs of water, and ^qthey became blood. 5 And I heard the angel in charge of the waters ^{▼▼Greek angel of the waters} say,

^s“Just are you, ^tO Holy One, ^uwho is and who was,
for you brought these judgments.
6 For ^vthey have shed the blood of ^wsaints and prophets,
and ^xyou have given them blood to drink.
It is what they deserve!”
7 And I heard ^ythe altar saying,

“Yes, Lord God the Almighty,
^ztrue and just are your judgments!”
8 The fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and it was allowed to scorch people ^aawith fire. 9 They were scorched by the fierce heat, and ^abthey cursed ^{▼▼Greek blasphemed; also verses 11, 21} the name of God who had power over these plagues. ^adThey did not repent ^aeand give him glory.

10 The fifth angel poured out his bowl on ^afthe throne of the beast, and ^agits kingdom was plunged into darkness. People gnawed their tongues in anguish 11 and cursed ^ahthe God of heaven for their pain and ^aisores. ^ajThey did not repent of their deeds.

12 The sixth angel poured out his bowl on ^akthe great river Euphrates, and ^alits water was dried up, ^amto prepare the way for the kings ^anfrom the east. 13 And I saw, coming out of the mouth of ^aothe dragon and out of the mouth of ^apthe beast and out of the mouth of ^aqthe false prophet, three ^arunclean spirits like ^asfrogs. 14 For they are ^atdemonic spirits, ^auperforming signs, who go abroad to the kings of the whole world, ^avto assemble them for battle on ^awthe great day of God the Almighty. 15 (“Behold, ^axI am coming like a thief! ^ayBlessed is the one who stays awake, keeping his garments on, ^azthat he may not go about naked and be seen exposed!”) 16 And ^bathey assembled them at the place that in Hebrew is called ^bbArmageddon.

The Seventh Bowl

17 The seventh angel poured out his bowl into ^bcthe air, and a loud voice came out of the temple, from the throne, saying, ^bd“It is done!” 18 And there were ^beflashes of lightning, rumblings, ^{▼▼Or voices, or sounds} peals of thunder, and ^bga great earthquake ^bhsuch as there had never been since man was on the earth, so great was that earthquake. 19 ^biThe great city ^bjwas split into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell, and God ^bkremembered ^blBabylon the great, ^bmto make her drain the cup of the wine of the fury of his wrath. 20 And ^bnevery island fled away, and no mountains were to be found. 21 And ^bogreat hailstones, about one hundred pounds ^{▼▼Greek a talent in weight} each, fell from heaven on people; and ^bqthey cursed God for ^brthe plague of the hail, because the plague was so severe.
