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.
1And 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.2And 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 image3And 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 died4And the third Angel poured out his bowl upon the rivers and the sources of water, and these became blood5And 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 things6For they have shed the blood of the Saints and the Prophets, and so you have given them blood to drink. For they deserve this.7And from the altar, I heard another one, saying, "Even now, O Lord God Almighty, your judgments are true and just.8And the fourth Angel poured out his bowl upon the sun. And it was given to him to afflict men with heat and fire9And 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 glory10And 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 anguish11And they blasphemed the God of heaven, because of their anguish and wounds, but they did not repent from their works12And 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 sun13And 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 frogs14For 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 God15"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.16And he shall gather them together at a place which is called, in Hebrew, Armageddon17And 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.18And 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 earthquake19And 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 wrath20And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found21And 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
