Revelation 16

The First Bowl

16Then I heard a loud voice from the sanctuary saying to the seven angels, ^y“Go and pour out the seven ^zbowls ^aof God’s wrath on the earth.” ²The first went and poured out his bowl on the earth, and severely painful sores ^bcbroke out on the people who had the mark of the beast and who worshiped his image.

The Second Bowl

³The second ^dpoured out his bowl into the sea. It turned to blood like a dead man’s, and all life ^ein the sea died. ^f

The Third Bowl

⁴The third ^gpoured out his bowl into the rivers and the springs of water, and they became blood. ^h5I heard the angel of the waters say:

You are righteous,

who is and who was, ⁱthe Holy One, ^j

for You have decided these things.

⁶Because they poured out

the blood of the saints and the prophets, ^k

You also gave them blood to drink;

they deserve it! ^l

⁷Then I heard someone from the altar say:

Yes, Lord God, the Almighty,

true and righteous are Your judgments. ^m

The Fourth Bowl

⁸The fourth ⁿpoured out his bowl on the sun. He ^owas given the power ^pto burn people with fire, ⁹and people were burned by the intense heat. So they blasphemed the name of God, ^qwho had the power ^rover these plagues, and they did not repent and give Him glory. ^s

The Fifth Bowl

¹⁰The fifth ^tpoured out his bowl on the throne of the beast, ^uand his kingdom was plunged into darkness. ^vPeople ^wgnawed their tongues because of their pain ¹¹and blasphemed the God of heaven ^xbecause of their pains and their sores, yet they did not repent of their actions.

The Sixth Bowl

¹²The sixth ^ypoured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, ^zand its water was dried up ^ato prepare the way for the kings from the east. ¹³Then I saw three unclean spirits like frogs ^bcoming from the dragon’s mouth, ^cfrom the beast’s mouth, ^dand from the mouth of the false prophet. ^e14For they are spirits of demons performing signs, ^fwho travel to the kings of the whole world to assemble them ^gfor the battle of the great day of God, the Almighty. ^h

¹⁵“Look, I am coming like a thief. The one who is alert and remains clothed ^ijso that he may not go around naked and people see his shame ^kis blessed.” ^l

¹⁶So they assembled them at the place called in Hebrew, Armagedon. ^mno

The Seventh Bowl

¹⁷Then the seventh ^ppoured out his bowl into the air, ^qand a loud voice came out of the sanctuary ^rsfrom the throne, saying, “It is done!” ¹⁸There were flashes of lightning and rumblings of thunder. And a severe earthquake occurred like no other since man has been on the earth—so great was the quake. ^t19The great city ^usplit into three parts, and the cities of the nations ^vfell. Babylon the Great was remembered in God’s presence; He gave her the cup filled with the wine of His fierce anger. ^w20Every island fled, and the mountains disappeared. ^xy21Enormous hailstones, each weighing about 100 pounds, ^zfell from the sky on people, and they blasphemed God ^afor the plague of hail because that plague was extremely severe. ^b
