1 Then I heard a loud voice from the temple telling ^pthe seven angels, “Go and ^qpour out on the earth ^rthe seven bowls of the wrath of God.”

2 So the first angel went and poured out his bowl on the earth, and harmful and painful ^ssores came upon the people who bore ^tthe mark of the beast and worshiped its image.

3 The second angel poured out his bowl into the sea, and ^uit became like the blood of a corpse, and ^vevery living thing died that was in the sea.

4 The third angel poured out his bowl into ^wthe rivers and the springs of water, and ^xthey became blood. 5 And I heard the angel in charge of the waters¹ say,

7 And I heard ^ethe altar saying,

8 The fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and it was allowed to scorch people ^gwith fire. 9 They were scorched by the fierce heat, and ^hthey cursed² the name of God who had power over these plagues. ⁱThey did not repent ^jand give him glory.

10 The fifth angel poured out his bowl on ^kthe throne of the beast, and ^lits kingdom was plunged into darkness. People gnawed their tongues in anguish 11 and cursed ^mthe God of heaven for their pain and ⁿsores. ^oThey did not repent of their deeds.

12 The sixth angel poured out his bowl on ^pthe great river Euphrates, and ^qits water was dried up, ^rto prepare the way for the kings ^sfrom the east. 13 And I saw, coming out of the mouth of ^tthe dragon and out of the mouth of ^uthe beast and out of the mouth of ^vthe false prophet, three ^wunclean spirits like ^xfrogs. 14 For they are ^ydemonic spirits, ^zperforming signs, who go abroad to the kings of the whole world, ^ato assemble them for battle on ^bthe great day of God the Almighty. 15 (“Behold, ^cI am coming like a thief! ^dBlessed is the one who stays awake, keeping his garments on, ^ethat he may not go about naked and be seen exposed!”) 16 And ^fthey assembled them at the place that in Hebrew is called ^gArmageddon.

17 The seventh angel poured out his bowl into ^hthe air, and a loud voice came out of the temple, from the throne, saying, ⁱ“It is done!” 18 And there were ^jflashes of lightning, rumblings,³ peals of thunder, and ^ka great earthquake ^lsuch as there had never been since man was on the earth, so great was that earthquake. 19 ^mThe great city ⁿwas split into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell, and God ^oremembered ^pBabylon the great, ^qto make her drain the cup of the wine of the fury of his wrath. 20 And ^revery island fled away, and no mountains were to be found. 21 And ^sgreat hailstones, about one hundred pounds⁴ each, fell from heaven on people; and ^tthey cursed God for ^uthe plague of the hail, because the plague was so severe.
