| Chapter 16 |
1 |
And I heard a great voice out of the temple, saying to the seven angels, Go and pour out the seven bowls of the fury of God upon the earth. --
|
2 |
And the first went and poured out his bowl on the earth; and there came an evil and grievous sore upon the men that had the mark of the beast, and those who worshipped its image. --
|
3 |
And the second poured out his bowl on the sea; and it became blood, as of a dead man; and every living soul died in the sea. --
|
4 |
And the third poured out his bowl on the rivers, and [on] the fountains of waters; and they became blood. --
|
5 |
And I heard the angel of the waters saying, Thou art righteous, who art and wast, the holy one, that thou hast judged so; --
|
6 |
for they have poured out the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; they are worthy. --
|
7 |
And I heard the altar saying, Yea, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous [are] thy judgments. --
|
8 |
And the fourth poured out his bowl on the sun; and it was given to it to burn men with fire. --
|
9 |
And the men were burnt with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, who had authority over these plagues, and did not repent to give him glory. --
|
10 |
And the fifth poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast; and its kingdom became darkened; and they gnawed their tongues with distress, --
|
11 |
and blasphemed the God of the heaven for their distresses and their sores, and did not repent of their works. --
|
12 |
And the sixth poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates; and its water was dried up, 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, as frogs; --
|
14 |
for they are [the] spirits of demons, doing signs; which go out to the kings of the whole habitable world to gather them together to the war of [that] great day of God the Almighty. --
|
15 |
(Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed [is] he that watches and keeps his garments, that he may not walk naked, and that they [may not] see his shame.) --
|
16 |
And he gathered them together to the place called in Hebrew, Armagedon. --
|
17 |
And the seventh poured out his bowl on the air; and there came out a great voice from the temple of the heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done. --
|
18 |
And there were lightnings, and voices, and thunders; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, such an earthquake, so great. --
|
19 |
And the great city was [divided] into three parts; and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon was remembered before God to give her the cup of the wine of the fury of his wrath. --
|
20 |
And every island fled, and mountains were not found; --
|
21 |
and a great hail, as of a talent weight, comes down out of the heaven upon men; and men blasphemed God because of the plague of hail, for the plague of it is exceeding great. --
