First Bowl: Loathsome Sores

2So the first went and poured out his bowl cupon the earth, and a 2foul and dloathsome sore came upon the men ewho had the mark of the beast and those fwho worshiped his image.

Second Bowl: The Sea Turns to Blood

3Then the second angel poured out his bowl gon the sea, and hit became blood as of a dead man; iand every living creature in the sea died.

Third Bowl: The Waters Turn to Blood

4Then the third angel poured out his bowl jon the rivers and springs of water, kand they became blood. 5And I heard the angel of the waters saying:

l“You are righteous, 3O Lord,

The One mwho is and who 4was and who is to be,

Because You have judged these things.

6For nthey have shed the blood oof saints and prophets,

pAnd You have given them blood to drink.

5For it is their just due.”

7And I heard 6another from the altar saying, “Even so, qLord God Almighty, rtrue and righteous are Your judgments.”

Fourth Bowl: Men are Scorched

8Then the fourth angel poured out his bowl son the sun, tand power was given to him to scorch men with fire. 9And men were scorched with great heat, and they ublasphemed the name of God who has power over these plagues; vand they did not repent wand give Him glory.

Fifth Bowl: Darkness and Pain

10Then the fifth angel poured out his bowl xon the throne of the beast, yand his kingdom became full of darkness; zand they gnawed their tongues because of the pain. 11They blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and did not repent of their deeds.

Sixth Bowl: Euphrates Dried Up

12Then the sixth angel poured out his bowl aon the great river Euphrates, band its water was dried up, cso that the way of the kings from the east might be prepared. 13And I saw three unclean dspirits like frogs coming out of the mouth of ethe dragon, out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of fthe false prophet. 14For they are spirits of demons, gperforming signs, which go out to the kings 7of the earth and of hthe whole world, to gather them to ithe battle of that great day of God Almighty.

15j“Behold, I am coming as a thief. Blessed is he who watches, and keeps his garments, klest he walk naked and they see his shame.”

16lAnd they gathered them together to the place called in Hebrew, 8Armageddon.

Seventh Bowl: The Earth Utterly Shaken

17Then the seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air, and a loud voice came out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, m“It is done!” 18And nthere were noises and thunderings and lightnings; oand there was a great earthquake, such a mighty and great earthquake pas had not occurred since men were on the earth. 19Now qthe great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell. And rgreat Babylon swas remembered before God, tto give her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of His wrath. 20Then uevery island fled away, and the mountains were not found. 21And great hail from heaven fell upon men, each hailstone about the weight of a talent. Men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail, since that plague was exceedingly great.
