CHAPTER 16
Then
I heard
a loud
voice
from
the
temple
saying
to the
seven
angels,
“Go,
pour out
on
the
earth
the
seven
bowls
of God’s
wrath."
So
the
first angel
went
and
poured out
his
bowl
on
the
earth,
and
loathsome,
malignant
sores
broke out
on
those
who
had
the
mark
of the
beast
and
worshiped
its
image.
And
the
second angel
poured out
his
bowl
into
the
sea,
and
it turned to
blood
like that
of the dead,
and
every
living
thing
in
the
sea
died.
Then
the
third angel
poured out
his
bowl
into
the
rivers
and
springs
of
water,
and
they turned to
blood.
And
I heard
the
angel
of the
waters
say:
“Righteous
are You,
O
Holy One,
who
is
and
who
was,
because
You have brought these judgments.
For
they have spilled
the blood
of saints
and
prophets,
and
You have given
them
blood
to drink
as they
deserve.”
Next,
the
fourth angel
poured out
his
bowl
on
the
sun,
and
it was given power
to scorch
the
people
with
fire.
And
the
people
were scorched
by intense
heat,
and
they cursed
the
name
of God,
who
had
authority
over
these
plagues;
yet
they did not repent
and give
Him
glory.
And
the
fifth angel
poured out
his
bowl
on
the
throne
of the
beast,
and
its
kingdom
was
plunged into darkness,
and
men began to gnaw
their
tongues
in
anguish
Then
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
of the
East.
And
I saw
three
unclean
spirits
that looked like
frogs
coming out of
the
mouths
of the
dragon,
the
beast,
and
the
false prophet.
These are
demonic
spirits
that perform
signs
and go out
to
all
the
kings
of the
earth,
to assemble them
for
battle
on the
great
day
of God,
the
Almighty.
“Behold,
I am coming
like
a thief.
Blessed is
the one who
remains awake
and
clothed,
so that
he will not go
naked
and
let his
shame
be exposed.”
Then
the
seventh angel
poured out
his
bowl
into
the
air,
and
a loud
voice
came
from
the
throne
in
the
temple,
saying,
“It is done!”
And
there were
flashes of lightning,
and
rumblings,
and
peals of thunder,
and
a great
earthquake
the likes of which
had not occurred
since
men
were
upon
the
earth—
so
mighty
was the great
quake.
The
great
city
was split
into
three
parts,
and
the
cities
of the
nations
collapsed.
And
God
remembered
Babylon
the
great
and gave
her
the
cup
of the
wine
of the
fury
of His
wrath.
And
huge
hailstones,
about
a hundred pounds each,
rained down
on
them
from
above.
And
men
cursed
God
for
the
plague
of
hail,
because
it
was
so horrendous.
