Revelation 16
Seven angels poured out God's wrath upon the earth in the form of seven bowls. The first bowl caused painful sores on those who worshiped the beast, while the second and third bowls turned the sea and rivers into blood, killing all living creatures. The fourth, fifth, and sixth bowls brought intense heat, darkness, and the drying up of the Euphrates River, respectively. The seventh bowl caused a massive earthquake, hail, and the destruction of the Great City, Babylon, and the islands and mountains.
And I heard a great voice from the temple, saying to the seven Angels: "Go forth and pour out the seven bowls of the wrath of God upon the earth.And the first Angel went forth and poured out his bowl upon the earth. And a severe and most grievous wound occurred upon the men who had the character of the beast, and upon those who adored the beast or its imageAnd the second Angel poured out his bowl upon the sea. And it became like the blood of the dead, and every living creature in the sea diedAnd the third Angel poured out his bowl upon the rivers and the sources of water, and these became bloodAnd I heard the Angel of the waters saying: "You are just, O Lord, who is and who was: the Holy One who has judged these thingsFor they have shed the blood of the Saints and the Prophets, and so you have given them blood to drink. For they deserve this.And from the altar, I heard another one, saying, "Even now, O Lord God Almighty, your judgments are true and just.And the fourth Angel poured out his bowl upon the sun. And it was given to him to afflict men with heat and fireAnd men were scorched by the great heat, and they blasphemed the name of God, who holds power over these afflictions, but they did not repent, so as to give him gloryAnd the fifth Angel poured out his bowl upon the throne of the beast. And his kingdom became darkened, and they gnawed at their tongues out of anguishAnd they blasphemed the God of heaven, because of their anguish and wounds, but they did not repent from their worksAnd the sixth Angel poured out his bowl upon that great river Euphrates. And its water dried up, so that a way might be prepared for the kings from the rising of the sunAnd I saw, from the mouth of the dragon, and from the mouth of the beast, and from the mouth of the false prophetess, three unclean spirits go out in the manner of frogsFor these are the spirits of the demons that were causing the signs. And they advanced to the kings of the entire earth, to gather them for battle on the great day of Almighty God"Behold, I arrive like a thief. Blessed is he who is vigilant and who preserves his vestment, lest he walk naked and they see his disgrace.And he shall gather them together at a place which is called, in Hebrew, ArmageddonAnd the seventh Angel poured out his bowl upon the air. And a great voice went out of the temple from the throne, saying: "It is done.And there were lightnings and voices and thunders. And a great earthquake occurred, of a kind such as has never happened since men have been upon the earth, so great was this kind of earthquakeAnd the Great City became divided into three parts. And the cities of the Gentiles fell. And Babylon the great came to mind before God, to give her the cup of the wine of the indignation of his wrathAnd every island fled away, and the mountains were not foundAnd hail as heavy as a talent descended from the sky upon men. And men blasphemed God, because of the affliction of the hail, for it was exceedingly great
