16: • 1 Then I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, “Go and pour out the seven bowls of the pain-filled anger of God into the earth. 2 And the first departed and poured out his bowl into the earth; and a nasty and painful sore came upon the men and women having the stamp of the beast and those worshiping its image. 3 The second angel poured out his bowl into the sea, and it became blood, as of one dead; and every living soul that was in the sea died. 4 And the third poured out his bowl into the rivers and the springs of water, and they became blood. 5 Then I heard the angel of the waters saying: “You are justly innocent, the One who is and who always is, O Devoted One, for You have judged these things, 6 because the blood of devoted ones and prophets they have shed and You have given them blood to drink, as they deserve.” 7 And I heard the altar saying, “Yes, Lord God All-Carrying, All-Sustaining, true and just are Your judgments.” 8 Then the fourth angel poured out his bowl upon the sun, and it was given to burn men inside of fire. 9 And the men were burned with great heat, and they cursed the name of God, the One having authority over these striking blows; and they did not change their minds to give Him glory. 10 Then the fifth poured out his bowl [z] upon the throne of the beast, and its kingdom became dark, and they were gnawing their tongues for the anguish. 11 They cursed the God of heaven from their anguish and wounds, but they did not change their minds from their works. 12 Then the sixth angel poured out his bowl upon the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up, so that the way of the kings of the rising sun might be prepared. 13 And I saw coming out of the mouth of the dragon, out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet three unclean spirits, like frogs. 14 These are the spirits of demons performing signs, which go forth upon the kings of the entire inhabited land, to gather them together into the battle of the great day of God, All-Sustaining. • 15 “Behold, I continuously come like a thief. Blessed is the one who is wakeful and alert, keeping watch over his garments, so that he should not walk naked, so that they might not see his indecency.” 16 And he gathered them together into the placed called Armageddon in Hebrew. • 17 Then the seventh angel poured out his bowl upon the air, and a great voice came out from the throne in the temple, saying, “Become!” 18 And there were flashes of lightning and voices and thunders; and there was a great earthquake, such as there had not been since men were upon the earth, so vast an earthquake and so great. 19 And the great city split into three parts, and the cities of the ethnic families fell prostrate; and Babylon the great was remembered in the presence of God, to give her the cup of the pain-filled anger of His settled opposition. 20 Then every island fled, and the mountains were not to be found. 21 And a great hail, each about a talent weight, came down out of heaven upon men and women. And they cursed God for the striking blows of the hail, for exceedingly great were its blows.
