Revelation of John 16
Six Bowls of Wrath
1Then I heard a loud voice from athe ▼▼ Or sanctuary
temple, saying to the cseven angels, “Go and dpour out ▼▼ Lit into
on the earth the seven bowls of the wrath of God.” 2So the first angel went and poured out his bowl ▼▼ Lit into
,
gon the earth; and it became a loathsome and malignant hsore on the ▼▼ Gr anthropoi
people jwho had the mark of the beast and who worshiped his image. 3The second angel poured out his bowl kinto the sea, and it became blood like that of a dead man; and every living ▼▼ Lit soul
thing in the sea died. 4Then the third angel poured out his bowl into the mrivers and the springs of waters; and they nbecame blood. 5And I heard the angel of the waters saying, o“Righteous are You, pwho are and who were, O qHoly One, because You rjudged these things; 6for they poured out sthe blood of saints and prophets, and You have given them tblood to drink. They ▼▼ Lit are worthy
deserve it.” 7And I heard vthe altar saying, “Yes, O wLord God, the Almighty, xtrue and righteous are Your judgments.” 8The fourth angel poured out his bowl upon ythe sun, zand it was given to it to scorch men with fire. 9Men were scorched with ▼▼ Lit great
fierce heat; and they abblasphemed the name of God who has the power over these plagues, and they acdid not repent so as to adgive Him glory. 10Then the fifth angel poured out his bowl on the aethrone of the beast, and his kingdom became afdarkened; and they gnawed their tongues because of pain, 11and they agblasphemed the ahGod of heaven because of their pains and their aisores; and they ajdid not repent of their deeds. 12The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the akgreat river, the Euphrates; and alits water was dried up, so that amthe way would be prepared for the kings anfrom the ▼▼ Lit rising of the sun
east. Armageddon
13And I saw coming out of the mouth of the apdragon and out of the mouth of the aqbeast and out of the mouth of the arfalse prophet, three asunclean spirits like atfrogs; 14for they are auspirits of demons, avperforming signs, which go out to the kings of the awwhole ▼▼ Lit inhabited earth
world, to aygather them together for the war of the azgreat day of God, the Almighty. 15(“Behold, baI am coming like a thief. bbBlessed is the one who stays awake and keeps his clothes, bcso that he will not walk about naked and men will not see his shame.”) 16And they bdgathered them together to the place which bein Hebrew is called ▼▼ Two early mss read Armagedon

bgHar-Magedon. Seventh Bowl of Wrath
17Then the seventh angel poured out his bowl upon bhthe air, and a biloud voice came out of the ▼▼ Or sanctuary
,
bktemple from the throne, saying, bl“It is done.” 18And there were flashes of bmlightning and sounds and peals of thunder; and there was bna great earthquake, bosuch as there had not been since man came to be upon the earth, so great an earthquake was it, and so mighty. 19 bpThe great city was split into three parts, and the cities of the ▼▼ Or Gentiles
nations fell. brBabylon the great was bsremembered before God, to give her btthe cup of the wine of ▼▼ Lit wrath of His anger
His fierce wrath. 20And bvevery island fled away, and the mountains were not found. 21And bwhuge ▼▼ Lit hail
hailstones, about ▼▼ Lit the weight of a talent
one hundred pounds each, came down from heaven upon men; and men bzblasphemed God because of the caplague of the hail, because its plague was extremely ▼▼ Lit great
severe.
