Revelation 16

1 And I heard a loud voice out of the sanctuary saying to the seven messengers, “Go and pour out the seven bowls of the fury of God into the earth.”

2 And the first went off and poured out his bowl into the earth; and a bad and evil sore came on the people who have the mark of the beast and who bow down to its image. [a] 3 And the second poured out his bowl into the sea; and it became blood as of a dead man, and every soul of life died — the things in the sea. [b] 4 And the third poured out his bowl into the rivers and the springs of the waters; and it became blood.

5 And I heard the messenger of the waters saying, “You are righteous, the One who is and who was, the holy one, because you judged these things, [c] 6 because they poured out the blood of holy ones and prophets, and you have given them blood to drink. They are worthy.” [d] 7 And I heard the altar saying, “Yes, Lord God, the Almighty, true and righteous are your judgments.” [e]

8 And the fourth poured out his bowl on the sun; and it was given to it to scorch people with fire. 9 And the people were scorched with a great scorching; and they blasphemed the name of God who has the authority over these blows, and they did not have a change of mind to give him glory. [f]

10 And the fifth poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast; and its kingdom became darkened, and they were chewing their tongues from the pain, 11 and they blasphemed the God of heaven from their pains and from their sores, and they did not have a change of mind out of their works. [g]

12 And the sixth poured out his bowl on the great river, the Euphrates; and its water was dried up, so that the way of the kings from the rising of the sun might be prepared. 13 And I saw out of the mouth of the dragon and out of the mouth of the beast and out of the mouth of the false prophet three unclean spirits like frogs; [h] 14 for they are spirits of demons doing signs, which go out to the kings of the whole inhabited world, to gather them for the war of the great day of God the Almighty — 15 Look, I am coming like a thief. Blessed is the one staying awake and keeping his garments, so that he may not walk naked and they see his shame — [i] 16 and he gathered them to the place called in Hebrew Harmagedon. [j]

17 And the seventh poured out his bowl on the air — and a loud voice came out of the sanctuary, from the throne, saying, “It has happened” — [k] 18 and there were lightnings and voices and thunders, and a great earthquake happened, such as has not happened since people came to be on the earth — so great an earthquake, so mighty. [l]

19 And the great city became three parts, and the cities of the nations fell. And Babylon the great was remembered before God, to give her the cup of the wine of the fury of his wrath. [m] 20 And every island fled, and mountains were not found. 21 And great hail, about seventy-five pounds each, comes down out of heaven on the people; and the people blasphemed God because of the blow of the hail, because its blow is exceedingly great.
