1
And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven messengers, “Go away, and pour out the bowls of the wrath of God into the earth”;
2
and the first went away, and poured out his bowl into the earth, and there came a sore—bad and grievous—to men, those having the mark of the beast, and those worshiping his image.
3
And the second messenger poured out his bowl into the sea, and it became blood as of [one] dead, and every living soul in the sea died.
4
And the third messenger poured out his bowl into the rivers, and into the fountains of the waters, and there came blood,
5
and I heard the messenger of the waters, saying, “Righteous, O LORD, are You, who is, and who was, [[ and who will be,]] the Holy [One], because You judged these things,
6
because they poured out [the] blood of holy ones and prophets, and You gave to them blood to drink, for they are worthy”;
7
and I heard another out of the altar, saying, “Yes, LORD God, the Almighty, true and righteous [are] Your judgments.”
8
And the fourth messenger poured out his bowl on the sun, and there was given to him to scorch men with fire,
9
and men were scorched with great heat, and they slandered the Name of God, who has authority over these plagues, and they did not convert—to give to Him glory.
10
And the fifth messenger poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast, and his kingdom became darkened, and they were gnawing their tongues from the pain,
11
and they slandered the God of Heaven, from their pains, and from their sores, and they did not convert from their works.
12
And the sixth messenger poured out his bowl on the great river, the Euphrates, and its water was dried up, that the way of the kings who are from the rising of the sun may be made ready;
13
and I saw [come] 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—
14
for they are spirits of demons, doing signs—which go forth to the kings of the earth, and of the whole world, to bring them together to the battle of that great day of God the Almighty.
15
(“Behold, I come as a thief; blessed [is] he who is watching, and keeping his garments, that he may not walk naked, and they may see his unseemliness.”)
16
And they brought them together to the place that is called in Hebrew Armageddon.
The Seventh Bowl of Wrath
17
And the seventh messenger poured out his bowl on the air, and there came forth a great voice from the temple of Heaven, from the throne, saying, “It is done!”
18
And there came voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and a great earthquake came, such as has not come since men came on the earth, so mighty an earthquake—so great!
19
And it came—the great city—into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell, and Babylon the great was remembered before God, to give to her the cup of the wine of the wrath of His anger,
20
and every island fled away, and mountains were not found,
21
and great hail (as of talent weight) comes down out of the sky on men, and men slandered God because of the plague of the hail, because its plague is very great.
