16 Then I heard a loud voice from the temple saying to the seven angels, “Go and pour out on the earth the seven bowls of God’s anger.”
    2 So the first angel went and poured out his bowl on the earth, and ugly, painful sores came on the people who had the mark of the beast and who worshiped his image.
    3 Then the second angel poured out his bowl into the sea, and it became blood like that of a dead person, and every living creature in the sea died.
    4 Then the third angel poured out his bowl into the rivers and springs of water, and they became blood.  5 I heard the angel of the waters saying, “You are just, the One who is and who was,[1636] O Holy One, because You have judged these things.  6 For they poured out the blood of Your saints and prophets, so You have given them blood to drink. They deserve this.” 7 I heard the altar respond, “Yes, Lord God, the Almighty, true and just are Your judgments.”
    8 Then the fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and the sun was permitted to scorch people with fire.  9 So people were scorched with burning heat, yet they blasphemed the name of God, who has the authority over these plagues, and they would not repent and give Him glory.
    10 Then the fifth angel poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast, and his kingdom became dark. People gnawed their tongues because of the pain.  11 They blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pain and their sores, but they still would not repent of their works.
    12 Then the sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river, the Euphrates.[1637] Its water was dried up, so that the way might be prepared for the kings from the east.
    13 Then 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 that looked like frogs.  14 They are spirits of demons, performing miraculous signs,[1638] and they go out to the kings of the whole earth to gather them together for the battle of the great day of God, the Almighty.  15 (“Look! I will come like a thief. Blessed is the one who stays alert and keeps his clothes, so that he will not walk around naked and people see his shame.”)  16 The spirits gathered the kings and their armies together to the place which is called in Hebrew “Armageddon.” [1639]
    17 Then the seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air, and a loud voice came out of the temple from the throne, saying, “It is done!”  18 There were flashes of lightning, rumblings, crashes of thunder, and there was a massive earthquake. No earthquake like it has occurred since there were people on earth, so powerful was that earthquake.  19 The great city was split into three parts, and the cities of the nations collapsed. So Babylon[1640] the great was remembered in the sight of God and was given the cup of the wine of His fierce anger. 20 Every island disappeared, and the mountains could not be found. 21 Huge hailstones, each one weighing about 100 pounds, came down out of the sky on people. They blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail, since it was so terrible.
