Revelation 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 wrath of God into the earth.2 And the first went, and poured out his bowl into the earth; and it became a noisome and grievous sore on the men that had the mark of the beast, and that worshiped his image.3 And the second poured out his bowl into the sea; and it became blood as of a dead man; and every living soul died, [even] the things that were in the sea.4 And the third poured out his bowl into the rivers and the fountains of the waters; and it became blood.5 And I heard the angel of the waters saying, Righteous are you, the one who is and the one who was, the Holy One, because you judged these things:6 for they poured out the blood of the saints and the prophets, and blood you have given them to drink: they are worthy.7 And I heard the altar saying, Yes, O Lord God, the Almighty, true and righteous are your judgments.

8 And the fourth poured out his bowl on the sun; and it was given to it to scorch men with fire.9 And men were scorched with great heat: and they blasphemed the name of God who has the power over these plagues; and they did not repent to give him glory.10 And the fifth poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast; and his kingdom was darkened; and they gnawed their tongues for pain,11 and they blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores; and they did not repent of their works.

12 And the sixth poured out his bowl on the great river, the Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way might by made ready for the kings that [come] from the sunrising.13 And I saw [coming] 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 it were frogs:14 for they are spirits of demons, working signs; which go forth to the kings of the whole world, to gather them together to the war of the great day of God, the Almighty.15 Look, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watches, and keeps his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see him shamefully exposed.16 And they gathered them together into the place which is called in Hebrew Har-magedon.

17 And the seventh poured out his bowl on the air; and there came forth a great voice out of the temple, from the throne, saying, It is done:18 and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunders; and there was a great earthquake, of such that had not been since man had been on the earth, so great an earthquake, so mighty.19 And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and Babylon the great was remembered in the sight of God, to give to her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.20 And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.21 And great hail, [every stone] about the weight of a talent, comes down out of heaven on men: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof is exceeding great.
