1 Then I heard a loud voice from the temple telling the seven ^pangels, “Go and pour out on the earth the 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 ^qsores came upon the people who bore ^rthe mark of the beast and ^sworshiped its image.

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

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

7 And I heard the ^yaltar saying,

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

10 The fifth angel poured out his bowl on ^bthe throne of the beast, and its kingdom was plunged into ^cdarkness. People gnawed their tongues in anguish 11 and cursed the God of heaven for their pain and sores. They did not repent of their deeds.

12 The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, ^dand its water was dried up, to prepare the way for the kings from the east. 13 And I saw, coming out of the mouth of ^ethe dragon and out of the mouth of the beast and out of the mouth of ^fthe false prophet, three unclean spirits like ^gfrogs. 14 For they are demonic spirits, ^hperforming signs, who go abroad to the kings of the whole world, to ⁱassemble them for battle on the great day of God the Almighty. 15 (“Behold, I am coming ^jlike a thief! Blessed is the one who ^kstays awake, ^lkeeping his garments on, that he may not go about naked and be seen exposed!”) 16 And they assembled them at the place that in Hebrew is called Armageddon.

17 The seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air, and a ^mloud voice came out of the temple, from the throne, saying, ⁿ“It is done!” 18 And there were ^oflashes of lightning, rumblings,³ peals of thunder, and a ^pgreat earthquake such as there had never been since man was on the earth, so great was that earthquake. 19 ^qThe great city was split into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell, and ^rGod remembered Babylon the great, to make her drain the ^scup of the wine of the fury of his wrath. 20 And ^tevery island fled away, and no mountains were to be found. 21 And great ^uhailstones, about one hundred pounds⁴ each, fell from heaven on people; and they cursed God for the ^vplague of the hail, because the plague was so severe.
