Revelation 16:5-11

5Then I heard the angel of the water say, “You are fair. You are the one who is and the one who was, the holy one, because you have judged these things.

6You have given them blood to drink because they have poured out the blood of God’s people and prophets. This is what they deserve.”

7Then I heard the altar answer, “Yes, Lord God Almighty, your judgments are true and fair.”

8The fourth angel poured his bowl on the sun. The sun was allowed to burn people with fire.

9They were severely burned. They cursed the name of God, who has the authority over these plagues. They would not change the way they think and act and give him glory.

10The fifth angel poured his bowl on the throne of the beast. Its kingdom turned dark. People gnawed on their tongues in anguish

11and cursed the God of heaven for their pains and their sores. However, they would not stop what they were doing.
